$(-9sqrt17-3sqrt(34))/(153)$

$(-3-sqrt2)/(3sqrt17)$

you rationalize the denominator using:

$(3sqrt17)/(3sqrt17) = 1$

$(-3-sqrt2)/(3sqrt17)*(3sqrt17)/(3sqrt17)$

$(-9sqrt17-3sqrt(34))/(3^2*(sqrt17)^2)$

$(-9sqrt17-3sqrt(34))/(9*17)$

$(-9sqrt17-3sqrt(34))/(153)$

How do you simplify (-3-sqrt2)/(3sqrt17)(-3-sqrt2)/(3sqrt17)?
