Intro

When there is a <a href='[[glossary.html|{"keyword":"Radical"}]]'>radical</a> in the <a href='[[glossary.html|{"keyword":"Denominator","term":"Denominator"}]]'>denominator</a>, the fraction is not in its simplest form. Therefore, we need to rationalize the denominator to move the root from the denominator/bottom of the fraction to the numerator/ top. In this lesson, we will learn how to simplify radicals by rationalizing the denominator.
