$$ \begin{aligned}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}}& \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle1}{\textcircled {1}} } }}}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}}\frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} \xlongequal{ } \\[1 em] & \xlongequal{ \color{blue}{ \text{\normalsize{ \htmlClass{explanationCircle explanationCircle2}{\textcircled {2}} } }}}\frac{\sqrt{10}}{5}\end{aligned} $$ | |
① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{2} } \cdot \sqrt{5} = \sqrt{10} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5} } \cdot \sqrt{5} = 5 $$ |
