Answer:

√a(√a + 2)          a - 2√a

----------------- = -----------------

    a - 4                a - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that by "sqrt(a)/sqrt(a)-2" you meant:

√a

----------

√a - 2

To rationalize the denom., multiply numerator and denom. of this fraction by the conjugate of √a - 2, which is √a + 2:

√a(√a + 2)

-----------------

    a - 4
