find (a+b)?

b=c/a and a^2=cd (from ab* a/b)
b+sqroot(a^2)=c/sqroot(cd) +sqroot(cd)= (c+cd)/sqroot(cd)=
sqrt(c)*[sqroot(c)+d*sqroot(c)]/sqroot(cd)= sqroot(c)*(1+d)/sqroot(d)= sqroot(cd)*(1+d)/d

e

a) dsqrt(cd)
b) sqrt(cd)/d
c) (sqrt(cd) + d)/d
d) d(sqrt(cd)+1)/d
e) (sqrt(cd)(d+1))/d


thanks.
Success doesn't come overnight!
