① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 5 + \sqrt{3}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 5 + \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( 5 + \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{5} \cdot5+\color{blue}{5} \cdot \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot5+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \\ = 25 + 5 \sqrt{3} + 5 \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{15} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 5- \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( 5 + \sqrt{3}\right) = \color{blue}{5} \cdot5+\color{blue}{5} \cdot \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot5\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot \sqrt{3} = \\ = 25 + 5 \sqrt{3}- 5 \sqrt{3}-3 $$ |
③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
