Space Charge width proof using Algebra

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on proving the relationship between space charge widths using algebraic equations. The key equations involve the variables Na, Nd, and their respective charge densities. A participant expresses difficulty in manipulating the equations after squaring both sides to eliminate the square root. They have derived an expression for Xdo but are unsure how to proceed with combining terms. The conversation emphasizes the algebraic steps necessary to achieve the proof of the space charge width relationship.

Homework Statement


Use
NaXpo=NdXno
Xpo=\sqrt{(2\epsilon\phi/qNa)(Nd/(Nd+Na)}
Xno=\sqrt{(2\epsilon\phi/qNd)(Na/(Nd+Na)}
to prove

Xdo=Xdo+Xno=\sqrt{(2\epsilon\phi/q)((1/Nd)+(1/Na))}

Homework Equations



(1/Na)+(1/Nd)= (Na+Nd)/(Na)(Nd)

The Attempt at a Solution


I get stuck at:
X2do=(2\epsilon\phi/q(Nd+Na))((Nd/Na)+(Na/Nd))
I squared both sides to get rid of the sqrt temporarily, I'll take the sqrt again at the end.
Then I combined like terms and I don't know where to go after that. Someone help :(

EDIT:
Now I get

Xdo= {\sqrt{2\epsilon_{s}\phi_{B}/q}\left( \sqrt{\stackrel{N_{d}}{N_{a}(N_{a}+N_{d})}}+\sqrt{\stackrel{N_{a}}{N_{a}(N_{a}+N_{d})}}\right)
