5+a-4√(a+1)/(a-3) is the simplified form of the number. This can be obtained by multiplying numerator and denominator with conjugate of the denominator.
Given the number,
√a+1-2/√a+1+2
Denominator = √a+1+2
Conjugate of the denominator = √a+1 - 2
Now, (√a+1-2)(√a+1 - 2 )/√(a+1+2)(√a+1 - 2 )
=(√a+1 - 2 )²/(√a+1)² - 4
=(a+1 -4√a+1+5)/(a+1-4)
=5+a-4√(a+1)/(a-3)
Hence 5+a-4√(a+1)/(a-3) is the simplified form of the number.
