The correct Answer is:
To express the fraction \(\frac{11}{2 + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}}\) as an equivalent fraction with a rational denominator, we will use the method of rationalization. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Denominator**: The denominator is \(2 + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}\). 2. **Multiply by the Conjugate**: To rationalize the denominator, we will multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate in this case is \(2 - (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})\). \[ \frac{11}{2 + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}} \cdot \frac{2 - (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})}{2 - (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})} \] 3. **Simplify the Numerator**: The numerator becomes: \[ 11 \cdot (2 - (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})) = 22 - 11\sqrt{3} - 11\sqrt{5} \] 4. **Simplify the Denominator**: The denominator is: \[ (2 + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})(2 - (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})) = 2^2 - (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})^2 \] Now, calculating the squares: \[ 2^2 = 4 \] \[ (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})^2 = 3 + 5 + 2\sqrt{15} = 8 + 2\sqrt{15} \] Therefore, the denominator becomes: \[ 4 - (8 + 2\sqrt{15}) = 4 - 8 - 2\sqrt{15} = -4 - 2\sqrt{15} \] 5. **Combine the Results**: Now we have: \[ \frac{22 - 11\sqrt{3} - 11\sqrt{5}}{-4 - 2\sqrt{15}} \] 6. **Simplify the Fraction**: We can factor out \(-2\) from the denominator: \[ = \frac{22 - 11\sqrt{3} - 11\sqrt{5}}{-2(2 + \sqrt{15})} \] This simplifies to: \[ = -\frac{11 - \frac{11}{2}\sqrt{3} - \frac{11}{2}\sqrt{5}}{2 + \sqrt{15}} \] 7. **Final Form**: Thus, the equivalent fraction with a rational denominator is: \[ = -\frac{11 - \frac{11}{2}\sqrt{3} - \frac{11}{2}\sqrt{5}}{2 + \sqrt{15}} \]
