Question
Find rational numbers a and b such that:
$\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}=\text{a}+\text{b}\sqrt{6}$
$\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}=\text{a}+\text{b}\sqrt{6}$

Answer
$\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}=\text{a}+\text{b}\sqrt{6}$
we have,
$\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{\big(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}\big)^2}{\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^2}$
$=\frac{\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2+2\times\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{3}+\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^2}{3-2}$
$=\frac{3+2\sqrt{6}+2}{1}$
$=5+2\sqrt{6}$
Now,
$\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}=\text{a}+\text{b}\sqrt{6}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=5$ and $\text{b}=2$
we have,
$\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}$
$=\frac{\big(\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}\big)^2}{\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^2}$
$=\frac{\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2+2\times\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{3}+\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^2}{3-2}$
$=\frac{3+2\sqrt{6}+2}{1}$
$=5+2\sqrt{6}$
Now,
$\frac{\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{2}}=\text{a}+\text{b}\sqrt{6}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=5$ and $\text{b}=2$
