Rationalize the denominator of sqrt32/(sqrt16-sqrt2). The answer can be written as )AsqrtB+C)/D, where A, B, C, and D are integers, D is positive, and B is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find the minimum possible value of A+B+C+D.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{32} }{\sqrt{16} - \sqrt{2} } = \frac{4\sqrt{2} }{4 - \sqrt{2} } ----------------- (1)[/tex]

It says it can be written in the form of

[tex]\frac{A\sqrt{B} + C }{D}[/tex]

where A, B, C and D are integers, D is positive and B is not divisible by square of any prime

Rationalize equation 1:

[tex]\frac{4\sqrt{2} }{4 - \sqrt{2} } X \frac{4 + \sqrt{2} }{4 + \sqrt{2}}[/tex]

in denominator, use (a + b)(a - b) = [tex]a^{2} - b^{2}[/tex]

After multiplying numerator and denominator you should get

[tex]\frac{16\sqrt{2} + 8}{14}[/tex]

this is in the form

[tex]\frac{A\sqrt{B} + C }{D}[/tex]

where A = 16, B = 2, C = 8, and D = 14

hope this helps you ^^
