Math Problem Statement

expand and simplify (2+root 3)(3-root 3)

Solution

To expand and simplify the expression (2+3)(33)(2 + \sqrt{3})(3 - \sqrt{3}), we will use the distributive property (FOIL method) to multiply each term:

(2+3)(33)=2(3)+2(3)+3(3)+3(3)(2 + \sqrt{3})(3 - \sqrt{3}) = 2(3) + 2(-\sqrt{3}) + \sqrt{3}(3) + \sqrt{3}(-\sqrt{3})

Calculating each term:

  1. 2×3=62 \times 3 = 6
  2. 2×3=232 \times -\sqrt{3} = -2\sqrt{3}
  3. 3×3=33\sqrt{3} \times 3 = 3\sqrt{3}
  4. 3×3=3\sqrt{3} \times -\sqrt{3} = -3

Now, combine these results:

623+3336 - 2\sqrt{3} + 3\sqrt{3} - 3

Combining like terms:

(63)+(3323)=3+3(6 - 3) + (3\sqrt{3} - 2\sqrt{3}) = 3 + \sqrt{3}

Therefore, the simplified form of (2+3)(33)(2 + \sqrt{3})(3 - \sqrt{3}) is:

3+33 + \sqrt{3}
