Provide an appropriate response.Tell whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, give the correct answer. Explain your answer. The easiest way to simplify the expression  is to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3 + 

What will be an ideal response?


The statement is true. The easiest way to simplify the expression is to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, 3 + . Since (a + b)(a - b) = a2 - b2, there will thus be no radical expression remaining in the denominator. (Explanations will vary.)
