Answer

Rationalizing the denominator,

1(3+5)×(35)(35)(35)(3)2(5)2(35)95(35)4\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{(3 + \sqrt{5})} \times \dfrac{(3 - \sqrt{5})} {(3 - \sqrt{5})} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(3 - \sqrt{5})} {(3)^2 - (\sqrt{5})^2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(3 - \sqrt{5})} {9 - 5} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{(3 - \sqrt{5})} {4} \\[1em]

Hence, on rationalizing 1(3+5)=(35)4\dfrac{1}{(3 + \sqrt{5})} = \dfrac{(3 - \sqrt{5})} {4}.
