a) Ta có :
4 - 2\(\sqrt{3}\) = 1 - 2.1.\(\sqrt{3}\) + 3 = 1 - 2.1.\(\sqrt{3}\) + (\(\sqrt{3}\))2 = (1 - \(\sqrt{3}\))2= (\(\sqrt{3}\) - 1)2
b) Áp dụng câu a ta có:
\(\sqrt{4-2\sqrt{3}}\) - \(\sqrt{3}\) = \(\sqrt{\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)^2}\) - \(\sqrt{3}\) = (\(\sqrt{3}\) - 1) -\(\sqrt{3}\)
= \(\sqrt{3}\) - 1 - \(\sqrt{3}\) = -1
