Question is in this way

jedishrfu · Sep 12, 2014

Look at the lefthand side 1 +sqrt(2) + sqrt(3) + sqrt(6)

and recall that sqrt(6) = sqrt(2) * sqrt(3)

Does that help?

I'm not sure if my hint will help but it is a curious connection to simplify the lefthand side into factors.

so it didn't help you factor the LHS or it didn't help you with the problem as a whole?

Do not post thumbnails. Type out the problem and the solution. Read the 'pinned' thread "Guidlines for students and helpers" by Vela, which explains the reason for this policy.
