Math Problem Statement

Multiply. Simplify your answer as much as possible. 5√3(√15 + 2)

Solution

from PIL import Image import pytesseract

Load the uploaded image

image_path = "/mnt/data/173254100913047fzcx3g.jpg" image = Image.open(image_path)

Extract text from the image

extracted_text = pytesseract.image_to_string(image) extracted_text'Multiply.\n\n5/3(V15 +2)\n\nSimplify your answer as much as possible.\n\n''Multiply.\n\n5/3(V15 +2)\n\nSimplify your answer as much as possible.\n\n'successThe problem asks to multiply and simplify:

53(15+2)5\sqrt{3} \left(\sqrt{15} + 2\right)

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Distribute 535\sqrt{3} across 15+2\sqrt{15} + 2: 5315+5325\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{15} + 5\sqrt{3} \cdot 2

  2. Simplify each term:

    • For 53155\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{15}: 5315=5455\sqrt{3 \cdot 15} = 5\sqrt{45} Simplify 45\sqrt{45} as: 45=95=35\sqrt{45} = \sqrt{9 \cdot 5} = 3\sqrt{5} So: 545=535=1555\sqrt{45} = 5 \cdot 3\sqrt{5} = 15\sqrt{5}

    • For 5325\sqrt{3} \cdot 2: 523=1035 \cdot 2 \sqrt{3} = 10\sqrt{3}

  3. Combine the terms: 155+10315\sqrt{5} + 10\sqrt{3}

Final Answer:

155+10315\sqrt{5} + 10\sqrt{3}
