The parenthesis used at the very end is to help separate the from the term. The "i" is not under the square root.
You have to make the denominators(bottom of the fraction) the same in order to combine the fractions.
To make the denominator of the same as , you multiply the top and bottom of the fraction by 2 (because they both have a common multiple of 4)
So:
