Algebra.Com's Answer #280260 by edjones(8007)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1/(1+sqrt(3)-sqrt(5)) * (1+sqrt(3)+sqrt(5))/ (1+sqrt(3)+sqrt(5)) \n" ); document.write( "= (1+sqrt(3)+sqrt(5)) / (2sqrt(3)-1) \n" ); document.write( "Now you can use the conjugate to get the answer which is: \n" ); document.write( "((2sqrt(3)+1)*sqrt(5)+3sqrt(3)+7)/11 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Ed \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
