Simplify (frac{sqrt{3}}{sqrt{3} – 1} + frac{sqrt{3}}{sqrt{3} +1})

Simplify (frac{sqrt{3}}{sqrt{3} – 1} + frac{sqrt{3}}{sqrt{3} +1})

  • A.
    (frac{1}{2})
  • B.
    (frac{1}{2}sqrt{3})
  • C.
    (3)
  • D.
    (2sqrt{3})
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

(frac{sqrt{3}}{sqrt{3} – 1} + frac{sqrt{3}}{sqrt{3} + 1})

= (frac{sqrt{3}(sqrt{3} + 1) + sqrt{3}(sqrt{3} – 1)}{(sqrt{3} – 1)(sqrt{3} + 1)})

= (frac{6}{3 – 1} )

= 3
