So were you able to complete the question?


Since the OP has left the scene without further answer and for the benefit of others who might be interested.

 

[math]\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 + \sqrt 2 }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 + \sqrt 2 }}*\frac{{\sqrt 3 - \sqrt 2 }}{{\sqrt 3 - \sqrt 2 }}[/math]

What happens if you bring the square roots to the top of each fraction?

 

Do you know how to do this?

 

Took me a while to figure out what you meant - I multiplied top and bottom by the conjugate of the bottom; and then a flurry of cancelling occurred!
