| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 9 + 4 \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 7 + 8 \sqrt{2}\right) } \cdot \left( 9 + 4 \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{7} \cdot9+\color{blue}{7} \cdot 4 \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ 8 \sqrt{2}} \cdot9+\color{blue}{ 8 \sqrt{2}} \cdot 4 \sqrt{5} = \\ = 63 + 28 \sqrt{5} + 72 \sqrt{2} + 32 \sqrt{10} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 9- 4 \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( 9 + 4 \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{9} \cdot9+\color{blue}{9} \cdot 4 \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{- 4 \sqrt{5}} \cdot9\color{blue}{- 4 \sqrt{5}} \cdot 4 \sqrt{5} = \\ = 81 + 36 \sqrt{5}- 36 \sqrt{5}-80 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
