the first interpretation is number 1 in the picture below.
the second interpretation is number 2 in the picture below.
since my first interpretation was too easy, i'm assuming the second interpretation is what you really wanted to ask.
you want to rationalize the denominator by multiplying by the conjugate as shown in the picture.
it helps if you use parentheses.
this forces the equation to be what you want it to be.
for example, if you wanted me to know that it was the second interpretation, then the following equation would have been easier to determine that from.
I need help on how to simplify the square root of 3 over (4 plus the square root of 2).
the use of the parentheses leaves no doubt as to what you are asking.
