rationalise the denominator of
4 _______
1 - √3
I got -2√5-(3/2)√7-3
but apparantly its (1/2)(6+√35+2√7+3√5)
wtf?

I believe it works like:
4 (1 + √3) ____________ 1 - √3 (1 + √3) (multiply the entire fraction by the denominator's conjugate)
which becomes:
4 (1 + √3) _________ 1 - 3 ( so -2) (denominator now rationalized)
then you can simplify it to
- 2(1 + √3) _________ or -2 - 2√3 1

oh bugger, i posted the wrong question, but what you've done is right i think : ) well i got the same anyway.
what i meant to post was
√5 + 2 ______ √7 - 3
which gives me -2√5-(3/2)√7-3 but i cannot see how this is wrong

haha ok that makes a lot more sense given your first answer
(√5 + 2) (√7 + 3) ______ (√7 - 3) (√7 + 3) (remember to multiply both parts of the fraction by the conjugate.)
(√5 + 2) (√7 + 3) = √35 + 3√5 + 2√7 + 6
______ (√7 - 3) (√7 + 3) = 7 - 9 = -2
so the answer should be:
√35 +3√5+2√7+6 _______________ -2
(this cannot be reduced further using integers)
written another way: -(1/2)(6+√35+2√7+3√5)

Here you have something to ponder.
1-1=2-2 1(1-1)=2(1-1) 1=2
