Most teachers tell you to keep radicals out of the denominator because it is considered bad form and makes the number harder to understand at first glance. If/when you get to calculus however, this rule is completely ignored and you are expected to keep radicals in the denominators during most operations. So bottom line, if you pardon the pun, is radicals are perfectly fine in the denominator.
