Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

    The conjugate of 26−32\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{3} is 26+32\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}.

    326−3×26+326+3\frac{3}{2\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{2\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}}
  2. Multiply the numerators.

    3(26+3)=66+333(2\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}) = 6\sqrt{6} + 3\sqrt{3}
  3. Multiply the denominators using the difference of squares formula (a−b)(a+b)=a2−b2(a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2.

    Here, a=26a = 2\sqrt{6} and b=3b = \sqrt{3}.

    (26)2−(3)2(2\sqrt{6})^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 (22×(6)2)−3(2^2 \times (\sqrt{6})^2) - 3 (4×6)−3(4 \times 6) - 3 24−3=2124 - 3 = 21
  4. Combine the simplified numerator and denominator.

    66+3321\frac{6\sqrt{6} + 3\sqrt{3}}{21}
  5. Simplify the fraction by dividing all terms by the common factor, which is 3.

    3(26+3)21=26+37\frac{3(2\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3})}{21} = \frac{2\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}}{7}

    The simplified expression is 26+37\boxed{\frac{2\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{3}}{7}}.

    i) Set
    A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects, called elements. For example, the set of even numbers less than 10 is {2,4,6,8}\{2, 4, 6, 8\}.
    Diagram:
    A set can be represented by a circle or oval containing its elements.

          _______
         /       \
        |  A      |
        | {1, 2, 3}|
         \_______/
    

    ii) Singleton Set
    A singleton set is a set that contains exactly one element. For example, the set of even prime numbers is {2}\{2\}.
    Diagram:
    A singleton set is shown as a circle or oval containing only one element.

          _______
         /       \
        |  B      |
        |   {5}   |
         \_______/
    

    iii) Venn Diagram
    A Venn diagram is a diagram that shows all possible logical relations between a finite collection of different sets. These diagrams use overlapping circles or other shapes to represent sets, with the universal set often represented by a rectangle enclosing all other sets.
    Diagram:
    This diagram shows a universal set (U) and two overlapping sets (A and B). The overlapping region represents elements common to both A and B (A∩BA \cap B).
