Answer

A: $\sqrt 13$ + 2 B: $\sqrt 6$ - $\sqrt 3$ C: $\sqrt 5$+$\sqrt 10$

Work Step by Step

We are asked to find the conjugate of each given expression. To find the conjugate of a binomial, we change the sign of the second term of the given expression. A: In this given expression, 2 is being subtracted from $\sqrt 13$. To find its conjugate, we will add 2 to $\sqrt 13$. $\sqrt 13$-2 --> $\sqrt 13$+2 B: We notice that $\sqrt 3$ is being added to $\sqrt 6$. Conjugation: $\sqrt 6$+$\sqrt 3$ --> $\sqrt 6$-$\sqrt 3$. C: In the last expression, $\sqrt 10$ is being subtracted from $\sqrt 5$. Therefore, to find its conjugate, we will add $\sqrt 10$ to $\sqrt 5$.
