Homework Statement


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

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

Homework Equations



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

The Attempt at a Solution


I get stuck at:
X2do=[tex](2\epsilon\phi/q(Nd+Na))((Nd/Na)+(Na/Nd))[/tex]
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= [tex]{\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)[/tex]
