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