Find the sum of the opposite and inverse numbers of √5-2.

First, let’s find the opposite number to our given value, for this we only need to change the sign of the expression:

√5 + 2 and 1 / (- √5 – 2).

Reduce the fraction, calculate the sum, and get rid of the irrationality in the denominator:

√5 + 2 – (√5 – 2). There is a minus sign in front of the brackets, so:

√5 + 2 – √5 + 2 = 4.

Answer: 4.
