Solution

It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. Let me walk you through the solution manually.

The given expression is:

2+112+1\sqrt{2} + 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + 1}

To simplify this, we'll rationalize the denominator in the fraction part.

Step 1: Rationalize the denominator

The fraction part is:

12+1\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + 1}

To rationalize, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 21\sqrt{2} - 1:

12+1×2121=21(2)2(1)2=2121=21\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} + 1} \times \frac{\sqrt{2} - 1}{\sqrt{2} - 1} = \frac{\sqrt{2} - 1}{(\sqrt{2})^2 - (1)^2} = \frac{\sqrt{2} - 1}{2 - 1} = \sqrt{2} - 1

So, the expression becomes:

2+1(21)\sqrt{2} + 1 - (\sqrt{2} - 1)

Step 2: Simplify the expression

Now, simplify:

2+12+1=2\sqrt{2} + 1 - \sqrt{2} + 1 = 2

Thus, the simplified expression is 22.
