The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \(\frac{22}{2\sqrt{3}+1} + \frac{17}{2\sqrt{3}-1}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the expression We start with the given expression: \[ \frac{22}{2\sqrt{3}+1} + \frac{17}{2\sqrt{3}-1} \] ### Step 2: Find the LCM To combine the fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The LCM of the denominators \(2\sqrt{3}+1\) and \(2\sqrt{3}-1\) is: \[ (2\sqrt{3}+1)(2\sqrt{3}-1) \] ### Step 3: Rewrite the fractions Now we can rewrite each fraction with the common denominator: \[ \frac{22(2\sqrt{3}-1)}{(2\sqrt{3}+1)(2\sqrt{3}-1)} + \frac{17(2\sqrt{3}+1)}{(2\sqrt{3}+1)(2\sqrt{3}-1)} \] ### Step 4: Combine the numerators Now, we can combine the numerators: \[ \frac{22(2\sqrt{3}-1) + 17(2\sqrt{3}+1)}{(2\sqrt{3}+1)(2\sqrt{3}-1)} \] ### Step 5: Expand the numerators Expanding the numerators: \[ 22(2\sqrt{3}-1) = 44\sqrt{3} - 22 \] \[ 17(2\sqrt{3}+1) = 34\sqrt{3} + 17 \] Now, combine these: \[ 44\sqrt{3} - 22 + 34\sqrt{3} + 17 = (44\sqrt{3} + 34\sqrt{3}) + (-22 + 17) = 78\sqrt{3} - 5 \] ### Step 6: Simplify the denominator Now, simplify the denominator using the difference of squares: \[ (2\sqrt{3})^2 - 1^2 = 12 - 1 = 11 \] ### Step 7: Write the final expression Putting it all together, we have: \[ \frac{78\sqrt{3} - 5}{11} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \frac{78\sqrt{3} - 5}{11} \] ---
