① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{75}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{9} } \cdot \sqrt{75} = 15 \sqrt{3} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{75} } \cdot \sqrt{75} = 75 $$ |
③ | Divide both numerator and denominator by 15. |
