Express with rational denominator \(4 /\left({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3}+1\right)\).

Short Answer

Expert verified
The simplified expression with a rational denominator is \(\frac{({ }^{3} \sqrt{9})+({ }^{3}\sqrt{3})+1}{3({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3})}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the conjugate

Notice that we have two cube roots with subtraction in the middle in the denominator. The quadratic conjugate of the denominator, \({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3}+1\), will have the opposite sign between the two cube roots: \({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}+{ }^{3} \sqrt{3}+1\).
02

Multiply by the conjugate

Now, we'll multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate. This is to eliminate the cube roots from the denominator: \[ \frac{4}{\left({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3}+1\right)} \cdot \frac{\left({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}+{ }^{3} \sqrt{3}+1\right)}{\left({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}+{ }^{3} \sqrt{3}+1\right)} \]
03

Calculate the numerator

First, we calculate the new numerator, which is just the product of 4 and each term in the conjugate: \[ 4({ }^{3} \sqrt{9})+4({ }^{3}\sqrt{3})+4 \]
04

Calculate the denominator

Next, we calculate the new denominator. To do this, use the difference of cubes formula \((a^3-b^3)=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)\), considering \(\,a = {}^3\sqrt{9}\) and \(b = {}^3\sqrt{3}\). Substitute and simplify the expression: \[ (a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2) = ({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3})(9 + ({ }^{3} \sqrt{9})({ }^{3} \sqrt{3}) + 3) = ({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3})(12 +({ }^{3} \sqrt{27})) = 12({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3}) \]
05

Simplify the fraction

Divide numerator and denominator by 4: \[ \frac{4({ }^{3} \sqrt{9})+4({ }^{3}\sqrt{3})+4}{12({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3})} = \frac{({ }^{3} \sqrt{9})+({ }^{3}\sqrt{3})+1}{3({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3})} \] Now, we have the given expression with a rational denominator: \[ \frac{({ }^{3} \sqrt{9})+({ }^{3}\sqrt{3})+1}{3({ }^{3} \sqrt{9}-{ }^{3} \sqrt{3})} \]
