Answer:

7/4

Explanation:


\displaystyle(2 + √( - 3) )/(2) ( (2 - √( - 3) )/(2) )~~~~~~

Evaluate.

Solution:

Rewrite it as,


  • \displaystyle(2 + √( - 1 ) √( 3) )/(2) ( (2 - √( - 1) √(3) )/(2) )

  • \displaystyle(2 + i√( 3) )/(2) ( (2 - i√( 3) )/(2) )~~~~~~

Multiplying them,


  • \displaystyle((2 + i√( 3))*(2 - i √(3)) )/(2 * 2)


  • \displaystyle((2 + i√( 3))*(2 - i √(3)) )/(4)

Applying Distributive property,


  • \displaystyle(2(2 + i√( 3)) + \: i √(3) (2 - i √(3)) )/(4)


  • \cfrac{2 * 2 + 2( - i √(3) ) + i √(3)(2 - i √(3) ) }{4}


  • \cfrac{2 * 2 + 2( - i √(3)) + i √(3) * 2 + i √(3) ( - i √(3)) }{4}

Combining each terms,


  • \cfrac{4 - 2i √(3) + 2i √(3) + 3}{4}

  • \cfrac{ - 2i √(3) + 2i √(3) + 7 }{4}

  • \boxed{\cfrac{ 7}{4} }

Last Choice is accurate.
