The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \(\frac{\frac{3}{2 + \sqrt{3}} - \frac{2}{2 - \sqrt{3}}}{2 - 5\sqrt{3}}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the Numerator The numerator is \(\frac{3}{2 + \sqrt{3}} - \frac{2}{2 - \sqrt{3}}\). To combine these fractions, we need a common denominator. **Hint:** The common denominator will be the product of the two denominators, which is \((2 + \sqrt{3})(2 - \sqrt{3})\). ### Step 2: Find the Common Denominator The common denominator is: \[ (2 + \sqrt{3})(2 - \sqrt{3}) = 4 - 3 = 1 \] Thus, the common denominator is 1. ### Step 3: Rewrite Each Fraction Now we can rewrite each fraction with the common denominator: \[ \frac{3(2 - \sqrt{3}) - 2(2 + \sqrt{3})}{(2 + \sqrt{3})(2 - \sqrt{3})} \] ### Step 4: Expand the Numerator Expanding the numerator: \[ 3(2 - \sqrt{3}) = 6 - 3\sqrt{3} \] \[ 2(2 + \sqrt{3}) = 4 + 2\sqrt{3} \] Thus, the numerator becomes: \[ (6 - 3\sqrt{3}) - (4 + 2\sqrt{3}) = 6 - 3\sqrt{3} - 4 - 2\sqrt{3} = 2 - 5\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 5: Combine the Numerator Now we have: \[ \frac{2 - 5\sqrt{3}}{1} = 2 - 5\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 6: Divide by the Denominator Now we divide this by the denominator \(2 - 5\sqrt{3}\): \[ \frac{2 - 5\sqrt{3}}{2 - 5\sqrt{3}} = 1 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
