Simplify Complex Fractions

Описание: Mathematics is a language and there is proper grammar that goes with learning it. It is proper grammar to express a fraction with a rational denominator. If the fraction's denominator is an irrational or imaginary/complex number, we must rationalize the denominator.

This concept is introduced in high school Geometry and expanded upon in Algebra 2. Algebra 1 students aren't yet given problems which require this process, but they do learn how to multiply, divide and simplify square roots.

I hope this helped!
