Which expression will be obtained in the numerator when the denominator of \(\frac{1}{3-\sqrt{5}}\) is rationalised?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(3+\sqrt{5}\)

The conjugate of \(3-\sqrt{5}\) is \(3+\sqrt{5}\). Therefore, multiply the numerator and denominator by \(3+\sqrt{5}\): \(\frac{1}{3-\sqrt{5}}\times\frac{3+\sqrt{5}}{3+\sqrt{5}}=\frac{3+\sqrt{5}}{9-5}=\frac{3+\sqrt{5}}{4}\). Hence, the new numerator is \(3+\sqrt{5}\). Remember that the conjugate is formed by changing only the sign between the two terms; \(8\) is not the denominator, since \(9-5=4\).
