Math Problem Statement

(5√2x + √5)(-4√2x + √5x)

Solution

The given mathematical expression is:

(52x+5)(42x+5x)(5\sqrt{2x} + \sqrt{5})(-4\sqrt{2x} + \sqrt{5x})

We will expand it using the distributive property (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a+b)(c+d) = ac + ad + bc + bd.

Expansion Steps:

  1. Multiply the first terms: 52x(42x)=20x5\sqrt{2x} \cdot (-4\sqrt{2x}) = -20x

  2. Multiply the outer terms: 52x5x=510x2=5x105\sqrt{2x} \cdot \sqrt{5x} = 5\sqrt{10x^2} = 5x\sqrt{10}

  3. Multiply the inner terms: 5(42x)=410x\sqrt{5} \cdot (-4\sqrt{2x}) = -4\sqrt{10x}

  4. Multiply the last terms: 55x=25x=5x\sqrt{5} \cdot \sqrt{5x} = \sqrt{25x} = 5\sqrt{x}

Combine all terms:

20x+5x10410x+5x-20x + 5x\sqrt{10} - 4\sqrt{10x} + 5\sqrt{x}

This is the expanded and simplified form of the expression:

20x+5x10410x+5x-20x + 5x\sqrt{10} - 4\sqrt{10x} + 5\sqrt{x}
