Answer:


\huge \boxed{ \boxed{ \red{2 √(3) - 1}}}

Explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

  • redical
  • simplifying redical
  • PEMDAS

given:


  • \tt \sqrt{13-4√(3)}

to do:

  • simplification

tips and formulas:

  1. (a-b)²=a²-2ab+b²
  2. √(a)²<=>|a|

let's do:


step - 1 : define


\tt \sqrt{13 - 4 √(3) }


step - 2 : simplify


  1. \tt use \: the \: 1 \: formula : \\ \tt \sqrt{ 1 + 12 - 4 √(3) } \\ \tt \sqrt{1 - 4 √(3) + 12} \\ \tt \sqrt{ {(1)}^(2) - 2.1.2 √(3) + {(2 √(3)) }^(2) } \\ \sqrt{ \tt (1 - 2√(3) {)}^(2) }

  2. \tt use \: the \: 2 \: formula : \\ \tt |1 - 2√(3) | \\ \tt - (1 - 2 √(3) ) \\ - 1 + 2 √(3) \\ 2 √(3) - 1
