| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{41}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{41} } \cdot \sqrt{41} = 82 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{41} } \cdot \sqrt{41} = 164 $$ |
| ③ | Divide both the top and bottom numbers by $ \color{orangered}{ 82 } $. |
