sqrt(3)+sqrt(6)/2

Explanation:

Separate the numerator using the common denominator of sqrt(2)

sqrt(6)/sqrt(2)+sqrt(3)/sqrt(2)

Write using single radicals, sqrt()

sqrt(6/2)+sqrt(3)/sqrt(2)

Simplify the first term

sqrt(3)+sqrt(3)/sqrt(2)

Rationalize the second term by multiplying the numerator and denominator by sqrt(2)

sqrt(3)+sqrt(3)/sqrt(2)*sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)=sqrt(3)+sqrt(6)/2
