-2+2sqrt3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/(1+root3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

root8 = 2root2 root32 = 4root2 root6 = root2 x root3 Putting these and resolving u get 4/(1+root3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

further we have to rationalise as follows:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

makes the whole equation again please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/(1+sqrt3) is the same as -2+2sqrt3 Just written out differently

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 1-root3 ------- x --------- 1+root3 1-root3 4-4root3 4-4root3 -2(-2 + 2root3) ---------------- = ----------- = --------------- = -2 + 2root3 (1)^2 - (root3)^2 1 - 3 -2

u r right Eliza, it took me time to write the further steps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks I didn't write like that to be nasty I used a calculator then I was writing that to show you were right as well :)1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No offence taken Elliza, i knew what u meant..... In India we do not use calculators but all calculation is by hand :)) so it takes time.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're still pretty quick You must be really good at mental arithmatics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks, i know people who r faster than me !!!! By the way when u say "calculator" is it the device or programs used for making calculations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Device N England you need them ffor exams well maybe not need them but everyone else does so it puts you at a disadvantage if you don't have one
