You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given:
.
.
Let's first work on the denominator. is equivalent to
.
Then applying the rule that we can do another conversion to
see that:
.
.
and for we can substitute its equivalent so that the next conversion
in the chain is shown on the right side of the expressions:
.
.
In the original given expression of the problem, we can now replace
by its equivalent form . That replacement results in the original given
form of the problem becoming:
.
.
Note that appears in as a factor in both the numerator and the denominator.
Therefore, it can be canceled and the result becomes:
.
.
So the simplified or reduced form of the original expression that was given is:
.
.
Hope this gets you a little more familiar with radicals and some of the methods you can
use to simplify expressions involving them.
