Math Problem Statement
√3+√5/√3-√2
Solution
You have the expression:
To simplify this, we need to rationalize the denominator. We do this by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is .
Let's proceed:
Now let's simplify the numerator and the denominator:
Denominator:
