Lesson Topic
Rationalize the denominator of a radical binomial
Lesson Outline
When you have a binomial with radicals in the denominator of a fraction, you must rationalize the denominator. You do this by multiplying the fractions by the conjugate of the denominator. Doing this takes the radical out. I taught Hunter how to do this, and we worked through some exercises. He had to FOIL the binomials, and I showed him a shortcut for multiplying conjugates.

Lesson Comments
Hunter was in a talkative mood. He wanted to tell me about his past fights, and how he was taken away in the middle of the night and sent to Wilderness Camp the 2nd time. I'm trying to stay focused on the math with him. But it's challenging!
