How do you simplify 5/(sqrt[3] + sqrt[5])53+5?

1 Answer

\frac{5}{2}(\sqrt5-\sqrt3)52(53)

Explanation:

\frac{5}{\sqrt3+\sqrt5}53+5

=\frac{5}{\sqrt5+\sqrt3}=55+3

=\frac{5(\sqrt5-\sqrt3)}{(\sqrt5+\sqrt3)(\sqrt5-\sqrt3)}=5(53)(5+3)(53)

=\frac{5(\sqrt5-\sqrt3)}{(\sqrt5)^2-(\sqrt3)^2}=5(53)(5)2(3)2

=\frac{5(\sqrt5-\sqrt3)}{5-3}=5(53)53

=\frac{5}{2}(\sqrt5-\sqrt3)=52(53)
