(6) Write each fraction as a sum or difference.(a) (sqrt(3))(x) - 6 Where "sqrt" means the square root of ---------------- (SQRT 3) (b) 3 + x2 -------- 3 (c) 4x - 5x2 - 2x5 -------------- x2 (d) 3t2 + 5t --------- 2t3HINT:For each question, recall that: ab + ac = ab + ac = b + c --------- ---- ---- --- --- ad ad ad d d Also, for part (a) it is conventional to rationalize the expression when you have a square root in the denominator. That is, to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the square root term so that the denominator is no longer a square root term.
