Question

How do you simplify (-1+sqrt3) over (2-sqrt 3)?

Answer 1

divide by the conjugate of the denominator

Answer 2

\[\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{2-\sqrt{3}}*\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}\]

Answer 3

\[(2+\sqrt{3})\] top and bottom

Answer 4

Okay I think I wrote it wrong, it's actually 2 times sqrt 3 on the bottom, not 2 - sqrt 3. Sorry!

Answer 5

Thank you so much for the replies!

Answer 6

\[\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3}}*\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\]

Answer 7

You want a number that'll rationalize the denominator,
\[(\sqrt{3})^2=3\]
