As you know, rationalizing the denominator simply means, "getting rid of that pesky radical at the bottom", so we'll do so by multiplying top and bottom by the "conjugate" of the denominator,

\bf \cfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}-1}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}+1}\implies \cfrac{(\sqrt{3}+1)(\sqrt{3}+1)}{\stackrel{\textit{difference of squares}}{(\sqrt{3}-1)(\sqrt{3}+1)}}\implies \cfrac{(\sqrt{3})^2+\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{3}+1}{(\sqrt{3})^2-1^2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3+2\sqrt{3}+1}{3-1}\implies \cfrac{4+2\sqrt{3}}{2}\implies \cfrac{\underline{2}(2+1\sqrt{3})}{\underline{2}}\implies 2+\sqrt{3}

7.34 in scientific notation
Allushta [10]

Answer:

7.34×10⁰

Unless you're missing something in your question then that'd be it I guess... There isn't really a reason to put 7.34 in scientific notation though, so I'm assuming something isn't loading for me (or the question was changed).
