Please help me figure out this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{\frac{ 1+\frac{- \sqrt{7} }{ 4 } }{ 2 }}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not understand how they got to \[\frac{ \sqrt{8-2\sqrt{7}} }{ 4 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{\frac{ 4-\sqrt{7} }{ 8 }}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply the inside top and bottom by 2.: \[\sqrt{\frac{2(4-\sqrt7)}{16}}=\frac{\sqrt{8-2\sqrt7}}{4}\]
