Math Problem Statement

What is the simplified form of the expression \( \sqrt{1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \)?

Solution

The mathematical expression in the image is:

1+32\sqrt{1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}

Steps to Simplify:

  1. First, simplify the expression under the square root: 1+321 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.
  2. Combine 11 and 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} into a single fraction: 1+32=22+32=2+321 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{2}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{2 + \sqrt{3}}{2}
  3. Now substitute this back into the original square root: 2+32\sqrt{\frac{2 + \sqrt{3}}{2}}
  4. Finally, you can simplify this expression by recognizing that the square root of a fraction is the square root of the numerator divided by the square root of the denominator: 2+32\frac{\sqrt{2 + \sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{2}}

This is the simplified form of the expression.
