To Fill :
The blank with the best suited word or term that best completes the statement.
Answer to Problem 5SGR
rationalizing the denominator
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Given statement:
To eliminate radicals from a denominator or fractions from a radicand, you use a process called____________.
Calculation:
We know that
To rationalize a denominator , multiply the numerator and denominator by a quantity so that the radicand has an exact root. This process is used to eliminate the radicals from the denominator or fractions from a radicand.
So, the statement can be completed as:
To eliminate radicals from a denominator or fraction from a radicand, you use a process called rationalizing the denominator.
Hence the best term for the blank is :
rationalizing the denominator.
