Answer

$$\frac{4+\sqrt{10}}{3}$$

Work Step by Step

To rationalize the denominator multiply by $\frac{4+\sqrt{10}} {4+\sqrt{10}}$ ($=1$) $$\frac{2}{4-\sqrt{10}}=\bigg(\frac{2}{4-\sqrt{10}}\bigg)\bigg(\frac{4+\sqrt{10}} {4+\sqrt{10}}\bigg)$$ $$=\frac{2(4+\sqrt{10})}{16-10}=\frac{2(4+\sqrt{10})}{6}=\frac{4+\sqrt{10}}{3}$$
