Answer Details

( $\frac{1}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}$ x $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ )
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3} - (\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})}{(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}) (5 \sqrt{3})}$
= $\frac{- 2 \sqrt{3}}{5 - 3}$
= $\frac{- 2 \sqrt{3}}{7}$
