Answer:

4 -
√(6)

Explanation:

Rationalise the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

the conjugate of 4 +
√(6) is 4 -
√(6) , then

=
(10(4-√(6)) )/((4+√(6))(4-√(6)) ) ← expand denominator using FOIL

=
(40-10√(6) )/(16-6)

=
(40-10√(6) )/(10) ( divide terms on numerator/ denominator by 10 )

= 4 -
√(6)
