Square root(3)/(square root 3 + square root 2)
:
Multiply by the conjugate of the denominator over itself (=1)
sqrt%283%29%2F%28sqrt%283%29+%2B+sqrt%282%29%29 * %28sqrt%283%29-sqrt%282%29%29%2F%28sqrt%283%29-sqrt%282%29%29 = %283+-+sqrt%283%2A2%29%29%2F%283+-+2%29 = %283+-+sqrt%286%29%29%2F%281%29 = 3+-+sqrt%286%29
