this is what you wrote 2%2Fsqrt%283%29%2Bsqrt%282%29 ... rationalize by multiplying by sqrt%283%29%2Fsqrt%283%29 ... this gives %282sqrt%283%29%29%2F3%2Bsqrt%282%29

if you meant 2%2F%28sqrt%283%29%2Bsqrt%282%29%29 ... rationalize by multiplying by the conjugate %28sqrt%283%29-sqrt%282%29%29%2F%28sqrt%283%29-sqrt%282%29%29 ... this gives %282%28sqrt%283%29-sqrt%282%29%29%29%2F%283-2%29 or 2%28sqrt%283%29-sqrt%282%29%29
