Rút gọn biểu thức 1 √ x − 2 + 1 √ x + 2 − x x − 4 với x ≥ 0 ; x ≠ 4 .

Với \[x \ge 0,\,\,x \ne 4,\] ta có:

\(\frac{1}{{\sqrt x - 2}} + \frac{1}{{\sqrt x + 2}} - \frac{x}{{x - 4}}\)

\( = \frac{{\sqrt x + 2}}{{\left( {\sqrt x + 2} \right)\left( {\sqrt x - 2} \right)}} + \frac{{\sqrt x - 2}}{{\left( {\sqrt x + 2} \right)\left( {\sqrt x - 2} \right)}} - \frac{x}{{\left( {\sqrt x + 2} \right)\left( {\sqrt x - 2} \right)}}\)

\( = \frac{{\sqrt x + 2 + \sqrt x - 2 - x}}{{\left( {\sqrt x + 2} \right)\left( {\sqrt x - 2} \right)}} = \frac{{2\sqrt x - x}}{{\left( {\sqrt x + 2} \right)\left( {\sqrt x - 2} \right)}}\)

\( = \frac{{ - \sqrt x \left( {\sqrt x - 2} \right)}}{{\left( {\sqrt x + 2} \right)\left( {\sqrt x - 2} \right)}}\)\( = \frac{{ - \sqrt x }}{{\sqrt x + 2}}.\)
