Answer

7+437 + 4\sqrt{3}

13.928

Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Rationalise the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

    The conjugate of 2−32-\sqrt{3} is 2+32+\sqrt{3}.

    2+32−3=2+32−3×2+32+3\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2-\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2-\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2+\sqrt{3}}
  2. Expand the numerator and the denominator.

    Numerator: (2+3)(2+3)=2(2)+23+23+(3)2=4+43+3=7+43(2+\sqrt{3})(2+\sqrt{3}) = 2(2) + 2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{3} + (\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 + 4\sqrt{3} + 3 = 7 + 4\sqrt{3}
    Denominator: (2−3)(2+3)=22−(3)2=4−3=1(2-\sqrt{3})(2+\sqrt{3}) = 2^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 - 3 = 1

  3. Simplify the expression.

    7+431=7+43\frac{7 + 4\sqrt{3}}{1} = 7 + 4\sqrt{3}

    The simplified expression is 7+43\boxed{7 + 4\sqrt{3}}.

  4. Evaluate the expression using 3=1.732\sqrt{3} = 1.732.

    Substitute the value of 3\sqrt{3} into the simplified expression 7+437 + 4\sqrt{3}.

    7+4(1.732)7 + 4(1.732)
  5. Perform the multiplication.

    4×1.732=6.9284 \times 1.732 = 6.928
  6. Perform the addition.

    7+6.928=13.9287 + 6.928 = 13.928

    The evaluated value is 13.928\boxed{13.928}.
