Math Problem Statement
(5-2\sqrt(5))/(\sqrt(5))*(\sqrt(5))/(\sqrt(5))
Solution
Let's simplify the expression:
First, note that multiplying by is equivalent to multiplying by 1, so it doesn't change the value of the expression. However, this multiplication simplifies the expression by rationalizing the denominator.
We can distribute over the numerator:
Simplify each part:
So the expression simplifies to:
We can separate the terms in the numerator:
Simplify each term:
So, the simplified result is:
Thus, the final answer is:
