Question

rationlize
$\sqrt{3 - 1} \\ \div \sqrt{3 + 1}$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given

√3+1/√3-1

We need to rationalize the givenequation

To rationalize we will multiply and divide the denominator by √3+1

(√3+1)√3+1)/(√3-1)(√3+1)

Denominator can be simplified using the identity

(a2-b2)=(a-b)(a+b)

And the equation becomes

=(√3+1)2/(√3)2-(1)2

=(4+2√3)/2

=2+√3
