11a) False. If you simplify 8/30 you get 4/15 not 2/15.
11b) False. If you simplify 6/15, you get 2/5 not 3/5.
11c) true. 5/15 can be simplified to 1/3.
You’re correct answer would be : 14 lmk if this is correct if not I’m so SORRY
F(x)=(-2/((x+y-2)^(1/2))-(x+y+2)^(1/2)
the only irrational part of this expression is the (x+y-2)^(1/2) in the denominator, so, to rationalize this, you multiply the numerator and denominator by the denominator, as well as the other parts of the expression
also, you must multiply the -sqrt(x+y+2) by sqrt(x+y-2)/sqrt(x+y-2) to form a common denominator
(-2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)-(x+y+2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(common denominator)
(-2-(x^2+xy+2x+xy+y^2+2y-2x-2y-4))/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(FOIL)
(-2-x^2-y^2-2xy+4)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Distribute negative)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Simplify numerator)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Rationalize denominator by multiplying both top and bottom by sqrt)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)((x+y-2)^(1/2))/(x+y-2)
(The function is now rational)
=(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(sqrt(x+y-2))/(x+y-2)
