I have the follow answering to a question from my textbook: $\sqrt {\frac{{4 + \sqrt {15} }}{8}}$ However my textbook simplifies it to: $\frac{{\sqrt {8 + 2\sqrt {15} } }}{4}$
I've checked and my answer seems to be the same value as the one in the textbook but How do I go about getting the textbooks answer?
Multiply as follows:
$$\sqrt{\frac{4+\sqrt{15}}{8}\frac{2}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{8+2\sqrt{15}}{16}}=\frac{\sqrt{8+2\sqrt{15}}}{4}$$
