a) \(\sqrt {{{\left( {4 + \sqrt 2 } \right)}^2}} \)\( = \left| {4 + \sqrt 2 } \right| = 4 + \sqrt 2 \)
b) \(\sqrt {{{\left( {3 - \sqrt 3 } \right)}^2}} = \left| {3 - \sqrt 3 } \right| \)\(= 3 - \sqrt 3 \) (do \(3 > \sqrt3\)).
c) \(\sqrt {{{\left( {4 - \sqrt {17} } \right)}^2}} = \left| {4 - \sqrt {17} } \right| \)\(= \sqrt {17} - 4\) (do \(4=\sqrt {16} < \sqrt17\)).
d) \(2\sqrt 3 + \sqrt {{{\left( {2 - \sqrt 3 } \right)}^2}} \)\(= 2\sqrt 3 + \left| {2 - \sqrt 3 } \right| \)
\(= 2\sqrt 3 + 2 - \sqrt 3 = \sqrt 3 + 2. \)
