Answer
$\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{10}-2\sqrt{2}}$
Work Step by Step
Multiplying by the conjugate of the numerator, then the rationalized-numerator form of the given expression, $ \dfrac{\sqrt{5}+2}{\sqrt{2}} ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{\sqrt{5}+2}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{5}-2}{\sqrt{5}-2} \\\\= \dfrac{(\sqrt{5})^2-(2)^2}{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{5})+\sqrt{2}(-2)} \\\\= \dfrac{5-4}{\sqrt{2(5)}-2\sqrt{2}} \\\\=
\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{10}-2\sqrt{2}}
.\end{array}
