Question

Why


`(1)/( √(3 ) - 1) * ( √(3) + 1)/( √(3) + 1) = (1 + √(3) )/(2)`
why not 1+✓3 ?

​

Answer 1

Hey there!

When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerator by the numerator, and denominator by denominator.

1 x
`√(3)+1` =
`√(3)+1`

`√(3) -1 (√(3) +1)` = 2

Thus, the answer is (
`√(3)+1`)/2

Let me know if this helps :)
