To simplify this fraction, multiply the entire fraction by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of a square root and a number being added to it would be the number subtracted from the square root. In other words, the conjugate of $\sqrt{a} + b$ would be $\sqrt{a} - b$ .

Applying that information to our fraction shown here, the conjugate of the denominator would be $\sqrt{3} - 4$ . We will multiply both the numerator and denominator of our original fraction by this expression to obtain our answer, as shown below.
