Question 24788: Can you please help me with this problem.
Simplify if possible square root of a plus the square root of b over the square root of a minus the square root of b.

Answer by stanbon(75887) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(sqrt a + sqrt b)/(sqrt a - sqrt b)
Multiply numerator and denominator by (sqrt a + sqrt b)
to get the following:
(sqrt a + sqrt b)^2 / (a-b)
