a) ĐKXĐ: \(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a>0\\a\ne1\end{matrix}\right.\)
b) Ta có: \(M=\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{a}}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{a}}\right)\left(\dfrac{a-\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{a}+1}-\dfrac{a+\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{a}-1}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{a-1}{2\sqrt{a}}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{a}\left(\sqrt{a}-1\right)^2-\sqrt{a}\left(\sqrt{a}+1\right)^2}{\left(\sqrt{a}+1\right)\left(\sqrt{a}-1\right)}\)
\(=\dfrac{\sqrt{a}\left[\left(\sqrt{a}-1\right)^2-\left(\sqrt{a}+1\right)^2\right]}{2\sqrt{a}}\)
\(=\dfrac{a-2\sqrt{a}+1-a-2\sqrt{a}-1}{2}\)
\(=\dfrac{-4\sqrt{a}}{2}=-2\sqrt{a}\)
c) Để M=-4 thì \(-2\sqrt{a}=-4\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\sqrt{a}=2\)
hay a=4(thỏa ĐK)
