(sqrt 2)/(1+sqrt 3) I know the answer is as follows. I just don't know why.
ANSWER: (-sqrt2 + sqrt6)/(2) Can you help? This question is from textbook Mathematics with Applications
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Multiply numerator and denominator by (1-sqrt3) to get:
[sqrt2*(1-sqrt3)]/[(1+sqrt3)(1-sqrt3)]
= [sqrt2 - sqrt6]/[1 - 3]
= [sqrt2 - sqrt6]/(-2)
= [-sqrt2+sqrt6]/2
