+%281+%2B-+sqrt%28+108+%29%29
+%281+%2B-+sqrt%2854+%2A+2%29%29
+%281+%2B-+sqrt%289%2A6%2A2%29%29
+%281+%2B-+sqrt%28+9+%2A+3+%2A+4%29%29 *Note since 9 = 3^2 it is rooted out
+%281%2B3+%2B-+sqrt%283%2A4%29%29 *Note since 4= 2^2 it is also rooted out
+%281%2B3%2A2+%2B-+sqrt%283%29%29
+%281%2B6+%2B-+sqrt%283%29%29
