Answer

Rationalizing the denominator,

1(4+23)×(423)(423)(423)(4)2(23)2(423)16122(23)4(23)2\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{(4 + 2\sqrt{3})} \times \dfrac{(4 - 2\sqrt{3})} {(4 - 2\sqrt{3})} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(4 - 2\sqrt{3})} {(4)^2 - (2\sqrt{3})^2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(4 - 2\sqrt{3})} {16 - 12} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{2(2 - \sqrt{3})} {4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(2 - \sqrt{3})} {2} \\[1em]

Hence, on rationalizing 1(4+23)=(23)2\dfrac{1}{(4 + 2\sqrt{3})} = \dfrac{(2 - \sqrt{3})} {2}.
