Answer:

c =\frac{8}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

c = \sqrt{\frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{4 - \sqrt 7}} +  \sqrt{\frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{4 + \sqrt 7}}

Required

Shorten

We have:

c = \sqrt{\frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{4 - \sqrt 7}} +  \sqrt{\frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{4 + \sqrt 7}}

Rationalize

c = \sqrt{\frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{4 - \sqrt 7} * \frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{4 + \sqrt 7}} +  \sqrt{\frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{4 + \sqrt 7}*\frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{4 - \sqrt 7}}

Expand

c = \sqrt{\frac{(4 + \sqrt 7)^2}{4^2 - (\sqrt 7)^2}} +  \sqrt{\frac{(4 - \sqrt 7)^2}{4^2 - (\sqrt 7)^2}

c = \sqrt{\frac{(4 + \sqrt 7)^2}{16 - 7}} +  \sqrt{\frac{(4 - \sqrt 7)^2}{16 - 7}

c = \sqrt{\frac{(4 + \sqrt 7)^2}{9}} +  \sqrt{\frac{(4 - \sqrt 7)^2}{9}

Take positive square roots

c =\frac{4 + \sqrt 7}{3} +  \frac{4 - \sqrt 7}{3}

Take LCM

c =\frac{4 + \sqrt 7 + 4 - \sqrt 7}{3}

Collect like terms

c =\frac{4  + 4+ \sqrt 7 - \sqrt 7}{3}

c =\frac{8}{3}

The answer is B. The values of y must only be positive because it is equal to
