a. \(=\dfrac{\sqrt{a}\left(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}\right)}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}=\sqrt{a}\)
b. \(=\dfrac{1-\left(2\sqrt{a}\right)^3}{1-2\sqrt{a}}=\dfrac{\left(1-2\sqrt{a}\right)\left(1+2\sqrt{a}+4a\right)}{1-2\sqrt{a}}=1+2\sqrt{a}+4a\)
c. \(=\dfrac{1-\left(\sqrt{a}\right)^2}{1+\sqrt{a}}=\dfrac{\left(1+\sqrt{a}\right)\left(1-\sqrt{a}\right)}{1+\sqrt{a}}=1-\sqrt{a}\)
d. \(=\dfrac{\sqrt{a}\left(\sqrt{a}-3\right)}{\sqrt{a}-3}=\sqrt{a}\)
