The correct Answer is:
To rationalize the denominator of the expression \(\frac{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Multiply by the Conjugate To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of \(\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}\) is \(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}\). \[ \frac{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}} = \frac{(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})^2}{(\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})} \] ### Step 2: Expand the Numerator Now we expand the numerator using the formula \((a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2\): \[ (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})^2 = (\sqrt{3})^2 + 2(\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{2}) + (\sqrt{2})^2 = 3 + 2\sqrt{6} + 2 = 5 + 2\sqrt{6} \] ### Step 3: Expand the Denominator Next, we expand the denominator using the difference of squares formula \(a^2 - b^2\): \[ (\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}) = (\sqrt{3})^2 - (\sqrt{2})^2 = 3 - 2 = 1 \] ### Step 4: Combine Results Now we can combine the results from the numerator and denominator: \[ \frac{5 + 2\sqrt{6}}{1} = 5 + 2\sqrt{6} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the rationalized form of the expression \(\frac{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}\) is: \[ 5 + 2\sqrt{6} \] ---
