Question

a) \(\left(\sqrt{28}-2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{7}\right)\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{84}\)

b) \(\dfrac{\sqrt{4-2\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}\)

Answer 1

a) \(\left(\sqrt{28}-2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{7}\right)\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{84}\)

\(=\left(2\sqrt{7}-2\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{7}\right)\sqrt{7}+2\sqrt{21}\)

\(=\left(3\sqrt{7}-2\sqrt{3}\right)\sqrt{7}+2\sqrt{21}\)

\(=21-2\sqrt{21}+2\sqrt{21}\)

\(=21\)

b) \(\dfrac{\sqrt{4-2\sqrt{3}}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}\)

\(=\dfrac{\sqrt{\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^2-2\sqrt{3}\cdot1+1^2}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}\)

\(=\dfrac{\sqrt{\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)^2}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}\)

\(=\dfrac{\left|\sqrt{3}-1\right|}{\sqrt{2}\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}\)

\(=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}\left(\sqrt{3}-1\right)}\)

\(=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
