It is given that a = sqrt(5 - sqrt 21) and b = sqrt(5 +
sqrt 21)
We have to determine a^(-1) * b^(-1) =
1/(a*b)
a*b = [sqrt(5 - sqrt 21)][sqrt(5 + sqrt
21)]
=> sqrt [(5 - sqrt 21)(5 + sqrt
21)]
=> sqrt [ 5^2 - (sqrt
21)^2]
=> sqrt [25 -
21]
=> sqrt 4
=>
+/-2
1/(a*b) =
+/-1/2
The product a^-1*b^-1 is 1/2 or
-1/2
