| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}- 4 \sqrt{10}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{3} } \cdot \left( \sqrt{5}- 4 \sqrt{10}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot- 4 \sqrt{10} = \\ = \sqrt{15}- 4 \sqrt{30} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{5} + 4 \sqrt{10}\right) } \cdot \left( \sqrt{5}- 4 \sqrt{10}\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot- 4 \sqrt{10}+\color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{10}} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ 4 \sqrt{10}} \cdot- 4 \sqrt{10} = \\ = 5- 20 \sqrt{2} + 20 \sqrt{2}-160 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
