Answer:

Answer is
√(13)-√(11)

Explanation:

We need to divide


(2)/(√(13)+√(11))

For solving this, we need to multiply and divide the given term with the conjugate of
{√(13)+√(11)

The conjugate is:
{√(13)-√(11)

Solving


=(2)/(√(13)+√(11)) *(√(13)-√(11))/(√(13)-√(11)) \\=(2(√(13)-√(11)))/((√(13)+√(11))(√(13)-√(11)))\\We\,\, know\,\, that\,\, (a+b)(a-b) = a^2-b^2\\=(2(√(13)-√(11)))/((√(13))^2-(√(11))^2)\\=(2(√(13)-√(11)))/(13-11)\\=(2(√(13)-√(11)))/(2)\\=√(13)-√(11)

So answer is
√(13)-√(11)
