Answer:
√(5) + √(3) + 10 + 2√(15)

Explanation:


(2+4√(5) )/(√(5)-√(3) )

You need to multiply by the conjugate

To find the conjugate, first remember:

(a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2 (if a and b are sqrts, this will eliminate the square roots, rationalizing the denominator)

You have √5 - √3 as the denominator

You should multiply by √5 + √3

(This will eliminate the sqrts)

Remember to multiply both the numerator and denominator


(2+4√(5) )/(√(5)-√(3) ) = (2+4√(5) )/(√(5)-√(3) ) * (√(5)+√(3) )/(√(5)+√(3))

Now simplify


(2+4√(5) )/(√(5)-√(3) ) * (√(5)+√(3) )/(√(5)+√(3)) = ((2+4√(5))(√(5)+√(3)))/((√(5)-√(3))(√(5)+√(3))) = (2√(5)+2√(3)+20+4√(15))/(5-3) = √(5) + √(3) + 10 + 2√(15)
