How do you rationalize denominator surds?
An example may help. If you have the fraction 1 / (2 + root(3)), where root() is the square root function, you multiply top and bottom by (2 - root(3)). If you multiply everything out, you will have no square root in the denominator, instead, you will have a square root in the numerator. If the denominator is only a root, eg root(3), you multiply top and bottom by root(3).

How do you rationale the denominator?
Depends on the situation. You usually have to multiply numerator and denominator by some number or expression. Examples: 1 / square root of 2 Here, you have to multiply numerator and denominator by the square root of 2. 1 / (square root of 2 + square root of 3) Here, you have to multiply numerator and denominator by (square root of 2 - square root of 3).

How do you do 2 square root of 2 x 3 square root of 6?
To multiply 2 square root of 2 by 3 square root of 6, simplify each square root separately first: 2 square root of 2 simplifies to 2√2, and 3 square root of 6 simplifies to 3√6. Then, multiply the coefficients (2 and 3) to get 6, and multiply the square roots (√2 and √6) to get √(2x6) = √12. So, the final answer is 6√12.
