Rationalize \(\frac{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{4}}\)

A.

5 + 2 \(\sqrt{6}\)

B.

5 - 4 \(\sqrt{6}\)

C.

5 + 4 \(\sqrt{6}\)

D.

5 - 2 \(\sqrt{6}\)

Correct answer is D

\(\frac{\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{4}}\) = \(\frac{6-2\sqrt{6} - 2\sqrt{6} + 4}{6 - 4}\)

\(\frac{10 - 4\sqrt{6}}{2}\) = 5 - 2\(\sqrt{6}\)
