Rationalizing the Denominator: Techniques and Examples

The video tutorial explains the process of rationalizing denominators in fractions, particularly those containing square roots. It covers the challenges of working with irrational denominators and demonstrates methods to convert them into rational numbers. The tutorial includes examples of simple surd fractions and more complex cases using conjugates and the difference of squares. The grid method is also introduced for handling advanced problems. The lesson concludes with a call to apply the learned concepts in an assessment.
