The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \((2 + \sqrt{3})/(2 - \sqrt{3}) + (2 - \sqrt{3})/(2 + \sqrt{3})\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find a common denominator The common denominator for the two fractions is \((2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3})\). ### Step 2: Rewrite the expression We can rewrite the expression as: \[ \frac{(2 + \sqrt{3})^2 + (2 - \sqrt{3})^2}{(2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3})} \] ### Step 3: Expand the numerators Now, we will expand the numerators: 1. For \((2 + \sqrt{3})^2\): \[ (2 + \sqrt{3})^2 = 2^2 + 2 \cdot 2 \cdot \sqrt{3} + (\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 + 4\sqrt{3} + 3 = 7 + 4\sqrt{3} \] 2. For \((2 - \sqrt{3})^2\): \[ (2 - \sqrt{3})^2 = 2^2 - 2 \cdot 2 \cdot \sqrt{3} + (\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 - 4\sqrt{3} + 3 = 7 - 4\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 4: Combine the expanded numerators Now, we combine the results from Step 3: \[ (7 + 4\sqrt{3}) + (7 - 4\sqrt{3}) = 7 + 7 + 4\sqrt{3} - 4\sqrt{3} = 14 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the denominator Now, we simplify the denominator: \[ (2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3}) = 2^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 - 3 = 1 \] ### Step 6: Final expression Now we can write the final expression: \[ \frac{14}{1} = 14 \] Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{14} \]
