Step 1 :Given the expression \(\frac{\sqrt{20}}{12-\sqrt{5}}\)
Step 2 :To rationalize the denominator, we need to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of a number is obtained by changing the sign of the square root term. In this case, the conjugate of \(12-\sqrt{5}\) is \(12+\sqrt{5}\).
Step 3 :So, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by \(12+\sqrt{5}\)
Step 4 :The new numerator is \(2\sqrt{5}*(12+\sqrt{5})\)
Step 5 :The new denominator is \((12-\sqrt{5})*(12+\sqrt{5})\)
Step 6 :Simplify the expression, we get \(\frac{10}{139} + \frac{24\sqrt{5}}{139}\)
Step 7 :\(\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{20}}{12-\sqrt{5}}=\frac{10}{139} + \frac{24\sqrt{5}}{139}}\)
