i. The rationalizing factor of √7 + √2 is √7 – √2. Therefore, multiply both numerator and denominator by √7 – √2.



[∵ (a-b)(a+b) = a2 – b2]


ii. The rationalizing factor of 2√5 – 3√2 is 2√5 + 3√2. Therefore, multiply both numerator and denominator by 2√5 + 3√2.

iv. The rationalizing factor of √5 + √3 is √5 - √3. Therefore, multiply both numerator and denominator by √5 - √3.



[∵ (a-b)(a+b) = a2 – b2]

[∵ (a-b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab]
