Math Problem Statement

(5+√5)(2+√5)

Solution

To solve (5+5)(2+5)(5 + \sqrt{5})(2 + \sqrt{5}), we can use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials):

(5+5)(2+5)=52+55+52+55(5 + \sqrt{5})(2 + \sqrt{5}) = 5 \cdot 2 + 5 \cdot \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{5} \cdot 2 + \sqrt{5} \cdot \sqrt{5}

Now, calculate each term:

  1. 52=105 \cdot 2 = 10
  2. 55=555 \cdot \sqrt{5} = 5\sqrt{5}
  3. 52=25\sqrt{5} \cdot 2 = 2\sqrt{5}
  4. 55=5\sqrt{5} \cdot \sqrt{5} = 5

Now, combine all the terms:

10+55+25+510 + 5\sqrt{5} + 2\sqrt{5} + 5

Simplify:

(10+5)+(55+25)=15+75(10 + 5) + (5\sqrt{5} + 2\sqrt{5}) = 15 + 7\sqrt{5}

Thus, the result is:

15+7515 + 7\sqrt{5}
