Step-by-step explanation:

\rm{\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: a \: = \: \sqrt{5} - 2}

\rm{\: \: \: \: a + 2 \: = \: \sqrt{5}}

\rm{doing \: square \: both \: side \: -}

\rm{a^{2} + 4a + 4 \: = \: 5}

\rm{\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: a^{2} + 4a \: = \: 1}

\rm{\: \: \: \: \: \: \: a(a + 4) \: = \: 1}

\rm{\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: (a + 4) \: = \: \dfrac{1}{a}}

\rm{\: \: \: \: \: \: \bigg(a - \dfrac{1}{a}\bigg) \: = \: -4}
