Question

How do you simplify `(1 + 2 sqrt3) /( 1 + sqrt3 )`?

Answer 1

`7/4`

Explanation:

To start, you want to get rid of both square roots.
To do this you want to multiply `root2(3)` to the nominator and the denominator of the equation.
`(1+2root2(3) times root2(3))/(1+root2(3) times root2(3))`
Doing this will cancel out the roots and make the `root2(3)` become a `3`.
`(1+2 times 3)/(1+3)`
From this point on you just follow BEDMAS and solve the equation.
`7/4`
All done!
