express in simplest form with a rational denominator.
\\(\frac{6}{\sqrt{90}}\\)
Step1: Simplify the square root
$\sqrt{90} = \sqrt{9 \times 10} = 3\sqrt{10}$
Step2: Rewrite the original fraction
$\frac{6}{3\sqrt{10}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{10}}$
Step3: Rationalize the denominator
Multiply numerator and denominator by $\sqrt{10}$:
$\frac{2 \times \sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{10} \times \sqrt{10}} = \frac{2\sqrt{10}}{10}$
