Simplify (\(\sqrt2 + \frac{1}{\sqrt3})(\sqrt2 - \frac{1}{\sqrt3}\))
\(\frac{7}{3}\)
\(\frac{5}{3}\)
\(\frac{5}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{2}\)
Explanation
(\(\sqrt2 + \frac{1}{\sqrt3})(\sqrt2 - \frac{1}{\sqrt3}\))
\(\sqrt4 - \frac {\sqrt2}{\sqrt3} + \frac {\sqrt2}{\sqrt3} - \frac {1}{\sqrt9}\)
= 2 - \(\frac {1}{3}\)
= \(\frac {16 - 1}{3}\)
= \(\frac{5}{3}\)
\(\sqrt4 - \frac {\sqrt2}{\sqrt3} + \frac {\sqrt2}{\sqrt3} - \frac {1}{\sqrt9}\)
= 2 - \(\frac {1}{3}\)
= \(\frac {16 - 1}{3}\)
= \(\frac{5}{3}\)
