The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \(\frac{(1+\sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})} + \frac{(1-\sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3})}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find a common denominator The common denominator for the two fractions is \((\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3})\). ### Step 2: Rewrite the expression We can rewrite the expression as: \[ \frac{(1+\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3}) + (1-\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})}{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3})} \] ### Step 3: Expand the numerators Now, we will expand the numerators: 1. For \((1+\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3})\): \[ = \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{10} - \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{6} \] 2. For \((1-\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})\): \[ = \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{10} - \sqrt{6} \] ### Step 4: Combine the expanded numerators Now, we combine both results: \[ (\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{10} - \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{6}) + (\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{10} - \sqrt{6}) \] This simplifies to: \[ 2\sqrt{5} - 2\sqrt{6} \] ### Step 5: Write the full expression Now we can write the full expression: \[ \frac{2\sqrt{5} - 2\sqrt{6}}{(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3})} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the denominator The denominator simplifies to: \[ (\sqrt{5})^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 = 5 - 3 = 2 \] ### Step 7: Final simplification Thus, we can simplify the entire expression: \[ \frac{2(\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{6})}{2} = \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{6} \] ### Final Answer The expression simplifies to: \[ \sqrt{5} - \sqrt{6} \]
