Simplify the radical expression.

Mathematics

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 <em>subtracted </em>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.


\Big(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3} + 4}\Big)\Big(\dfrac{\sqrt{3} - 4}{\sqrt{3} - 4}\Big)

\dfrac{\sqrt{3} - 4}{3 - 16}

\dfrac{4 - \sqrt{3}}{13}


Our answer is \boxed{\dfrac{4 - \sqrt{3}}{13}}.
