Math Problem Statement

Simplify: (3√5+5)(5√3+3) [2]

Solution

To simplify the expression (35+5)(53+3)(3\sqrt{5} + 5)(5\sqrt{3} + 3), we'll use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials). This property states that:

(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

Here, let: a=35a = 3\sqrt{5} b=5b = 5 c=53c = 5\sqrt{3} d=3d = 3

Now, applying the distributive property:

(35+5)(53+3)=(35)(53)+(35)(3)+(5)(53)+(5)(3)(3\sqrt{5} + 5)(5\sqrt{3} + 3) = (3\sqrt{5})(5\sqrt{3}) + (3\sqrt{5})(3) + (5)(5\sqrt{3}) + (5)(3)

Calculate each term:

  1. (35)(53)=3553=1515(3\sqrt{5})(5\sqrt{3}) = 3 \cdot 5 \cdot \sqrt{5 \cdot 3} = 15\sqrt{15}
  2. (35)(3)=95(3\sqrt{5})(3) = 9\sqrt{5}
  3. (5)(53)=253(5)(5\sqrt{3}) = 25\sqrt{3}
  4. (5)(3)=15(5)(3) = 15

Combine all the terms:

1515+95+253+1515\sqrt{15} + 9\sqrt{5} + 25\sqrt{3} + 15

So, the simplified form of (35+5)(53+3)(3\sqrt{5} + 5)(5\sqrt{3} + 3) is:

1515+95+253+1515\sqrt{15} + 9\sqrt{5} + 25\sqrt{3} + 15
