i.  \(\frac{3}{5}\sqrt{10}\) 

3/5√10

 = \(\frac{3}{5}\sqrt{10}\) x \(\sqrt{10}\)

 = \(\frac{3}{5}\times10\) 

= 3 x 2 

= 6, which is a rational number.

∴ √10 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of \(\frac{3}{5}\sqrt{10}\) .

ii. \(3\sqrt{72}\) 

3√72

 = \(3\sqrt{36\times2}\) =3 x \(6\sqrt{2}\) = \(18\sqrt{2}\)

Now, 18√2 x √2 = 18 x 2 = 36, which is a rational number.

∴ √2 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of \(3\sqrt{72}\) 

iii. \(4\sqrt{11}\) 

4√11 

\(4\sqrt{11}\) x \(\sqrt{11}\) = 4 x 11 =44 which is a rational number.

∴ √11 is the simplest form of the rationalising factor of \(4\sqrt{11}\).
