What is the value of $\dfrac {1}{1 + \sqrt {2} + \sqrt {3}} + \dfrac {1}{1 - \sqrt {2} + \sqrt {3}}$?

  1. $1$
  2. $\sqrt {2}$
  3. $\sqrt {3}$
  4. $2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The value of $\dfrac {1}{(1 + \sqrt {3})+\sqrt {2}} + \dfrac {1}{(1 + \sqrt {3}) - \sqrt {2}}$ is
$=\dfrac {(1 + \sqrt {3} - \sqrt {2}) + (1 + \sqrt {3} + \sqrt {2})}{(1 + \sqrt {3})^{2} - (\sqrt {2})^{2}}$
$= \dfrac {2(1 + \sqrt {3})}{1 + 3 + 2\sqrt {3} - 2}$
$= \dfrac {2(1 + \sqrt {3})}{2(1 + \sqrt {3})} = 1$
