Simplify: (7/√3+1) + (7/√3-1)

Question

Simplify:

\(\frac{7}{\sqrt3 + 1} + \frac{7}{\sqrt3 -1}\)

Answer 1

= \(7(√3 - 1) + 7(√3 + 1) \over(√3+1)(√3-1)\)

= \(7(√3 - 1 + √3 + 1)\over(3 - 1)\)

= \(7 \times 2√3 \over2\)

= \(14√3\over2\)

= \(7√3\)

Comments

cant we simplify it more as 7*root3 by cancelling 14 and 2
