Rationalizing the Denominator

The video tutorial explains the process of rationalizing denominators in algebraic fractions. It covers the use of the identity property of multiplication to eliminate radicals from denominators, ensuring expressions are in their simplest form. The tutorial also addresses rationalizing denominators with cube roots and introduces the concept of conjugates for cases where the factor of 1 method is not applicable. Through examples, the video demonstrates how to simplify expressions using these techniques.
