The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem where \( x = 2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{2} \) and we need to find \( \frac{1}{x} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the expression for \( \frac{1}{x} \) We start with the expression: \[ \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 2: Rationalize the denominator To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is \( 2\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{2} \): \[ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{2}}{(2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{2})(2\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{2})} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the denominator using the difference of squares Using the difference of squares formula \( (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2 \): \[ (2\sqrt{3})^2 - (2\sqrt{2})^2 = 4 \cdot 3 - 4 \cdot 2 = 12 - 8 = 4 \] So, the denominator simplifies to \( 4 \). ### Step 4: Write the simplified expression Now we can write the expression for \( \frac{1}{x} \): \[ \frac{2\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{2}}{4} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the fraction We can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator by 2: \[ \frac{2\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}{2} \] ### Final Result Thus, the final result is: \[ \frac{1}{x} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}{2} \] ---
