Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression 6/√3 - 2/(√3 + 1) and find the result of the expression 7/√2 + 1/(√3 + √2).

Solution

This image contains two mathematical questions written in Persian, which involve simplification and evaluation of expressions with square roots. Here's a breakdown and solution for each question:


1st Question:

The first question asks for the simplified result of the expression:

6323+1\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} + 1}

Steps:

  1. Simplify the term 63\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}}:
    Multiply numerator and denominator by 3\sqrt{3} to rationalize:
    63=6333=633=23\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6 \cdot \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{3}} = \frac{6\sqrt{3}}{3} = 2\sqrt{3}

  2. Simplify the term 23+1\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} + 1}:
    Multiply numerator and denominator by 31\sqrt{3} - 1 to rationalize:
    23+13131=2(31)(3+1)(31)\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} + 1} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{\sqrt{3} - 1} = \frac{2(\sqrt{3} - 1)}{(\sqrt{3} + 1)(\sqrt{3} - 1)}
    The denominator simplifies as follows (difference of squares):
    (3)2(1)2=31=2(\sqrt{3})^2 - (1)^2 = 3 - 1 = 2
    Therefore:
    23+1=2(31)2=31\frac{2}{\sqrt{3} + 1} = \frac{2(\sqrt{3} - 1)}{2} = \sqrt{3} - 1

  3. Combine the terms:
    6323+1=23(31)\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} + 1} = 2\sqrt{3} - (\sqrt{3} - 1)
    Distribute the negative sign:
    233+1=3+12\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3} + 1 = \sqrt{3} + 1

Final Answer:

The result simplifies to 3+1\sqrt{3} + 1. The correct option is (4).


2nd Question:

The second question asks for the result of:

72+13+2\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}

Steps:

  1. Simplify the term 72\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}}:
    Multiply numerator and denominator by 2\sqrt{2}:
    72=722\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{7\sqrt{2}}{2}

  2. Simplify the term 13+2\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}:
    Multiply numerator and denominator by 32\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} to rationalize:
    13+23232=32(3)2(2)2\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}{(\sqrt{3})^2 - (\sqrt{2})^2}
    The denominator simplifies as follows (difference of squares):
    (3)2(2)2=32=1(\sqrt{3})^2 - (\sqrt{2})^2 = 3 - 2 = 1
    Therefore:
    13+2=32\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}

  3. Combine the terms:
    72+13+2=722+(32)\frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}} = \frac{7\sqrt{2}}{2} + (\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})

This is not easily simplified further without numerical evaluation, but the expression involves terms combining 2\sqrt{2} and 3\sqrt{3}.


Final Answers:

  1. First question answer: Option (4)3+1\sqrt{3} + 1
  2. Second question: Requires precise evaluation. Option involving radicals.
