Would D be the correct answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Step 1: find x^2 if x= 2-sqrt 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is 7-4 sqrt(3) that is the numerator. Denominator is mentioned to be x-2. For the equation, denominator is - sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiplying numerator and denominator by - sqrt (3) The solution is A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! but I don't understand why 7-4 sqrt(3) for the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you try squaring 7-4sqrt(3)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and I got 4sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( @NeetziD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry typo squaring 2 - sqrt 3. That gives you 4-4 sqrt(3) + 3 that is 7-4sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can go into some more detail if it is unclear.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the overall answer should be \[-\sqrt{3}\] right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@NeetziD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Sorry I was off there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem! Thanks a lot!:)
