√5/(2-√5) ??
what about it?
If you are rationalizing it, then
= √5/(2-√5) * (2+√5)/(2+√5)
= (2√5 + 5)/(4-5)
= -2√5 - 5
(sqrt 5)/(2 - sqrt 5)

Thanks, but can you please verify how you got the (2√5 + 5)? Because I thought that √5 * (2+√5) would be 2√25.
Just like
3(2x+5) = 6x + 15
just like
3(7+2) = 21 + 6
so is
√5(2+√5)
= 2√5 + √25
= 2√5 + 5
you could also check by evaluating it with your calculator.
