Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
(3√2)/(√6 + √3) − (4√3)/(√6 + √2) + (√6)/(√3 + √2)
By the formula:
(a + b)(a − b) = a² − b²
(3√2)/(√6 + √3) × (√6 − √3)/(√6 − √3)
= 3√2(√6 − √3)/(6 − 3)
= √2(√6 − √3)
= 2√3 − √6
(4√3)/(√6 + √2) × (√6 − √2)/(√6 − √2)
= 4√3(√6 − √2)/(6 − 2)
= √3(√6 − √2)
= 3√2 − √6
(√6)/(√3 + √2) × (√3 − √2)/(√3 − √2)
= √6(√3 − √2)/(3 − 2)
= √18 − √12
= 3√2 − 2√3
(2√3 − √6) − (3√2 − √6) + (3√2 − 2√3)
= 2√3 − √6 − 3√2 + √6 + 3√2 − 2√3
= 0
