The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the common denominator The denominators of the two fractions are \(\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2}\) and \(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}\). The common denominator will be the product of these two denominators: \[ (\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2})(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}) \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the expression with the common denominator We can rewrite the expression as: \[ \frac{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2})(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})} - \frac{\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2})(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}) - \sqrt{3}(\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2})(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the numerator Now we will simplify the numerator: \[ \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}) - \sqrt{3}(\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{2}) \] Expanding both terms: \[ = \sqrt{2}\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}\sqrt{2} \] This gives us: \[ = \sqrt{12} + 2 - \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{6} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the square roots Now we simplify the square roots: \[ = 2\sqrt{3} + 2 - 3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6} \] ### Step 5: Combine the terms Now we combine the terms: \[ = (2 - 3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{6}) \] ### Step 6: Simplify the denominator The denominator simplifies using the difference of squares: \[ (\sqrt{6})^2 - (\sqrt{2})^2 = 6 - 2 = 4 \] ### Step 7: Final expression Putting it all together, we have: \[ \frac{2 - 3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{6}}{4} \] ### Step 8: Final simplification We can express this as: \[ \frac{1}{4}(2 - 3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{6}) \] ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{2 - 3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{6}}{4} \]
