Hello!
\n" ); document.write( "This appears to be a \"rationalize the denominator\" problem, as there is nothing else to solve in the expression you provide. You have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F%28sqrt%283%29%2B1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can now use the following rule
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28a%2Bb%29%28a-b%29=a%5E2-b%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, multiply your expression by \"%28sqrt%283%29-1%29%2F%28sqrt%283%29-1%29\" (this doesn't affect it, as it's the same as multiplying it by 1.)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F%28sqrt%283%29%2B1%29%2A%28sqrt%283%29-1%29%2F%28sqrt%283%29-1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But using the above rule, this expression becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2A%28sqrt%283%29-1%29%2F%28sqrt%283%29%5E2+-+1%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2A%28sqrt%283%29-1%29%2F%283+-+1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2A%28sqrt%283%29-1%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%283%29-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So your expression becomes simply \"sqrt%283%29-1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope this helps!
