① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{3} + 1} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( \sqrt{3} + 1\right) } \cdot \left( 2 \sqrt{3} + 1\right) = \color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot 2 \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{3}} \cdot1+\color{blue}{1} \cdot 2 \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{1} \cdot1 = \\ = 6 + \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3} + 1 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 2 \sqrt{3}-1\right) } \cdot \left( 2 \sqrt{3} + 1\right) = \color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{3}} \cdot 2 \sqrt{3}+\color{blue}{ 2 \sqrt{3}} \cdot1\color{blue}{-1} \cdot 2 \sqrt{3}\color{blue}{-1} \cdot1 = \\ = 12 + 2 \sqrt{3}- 2 \sqrt{3}-1 $$ |
③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
