Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression 2√3 - √2 + 2√6 - 4√3 - √6 + 2√2 + 4√2.

Solution

The image you uploaded contains a mathematical expression. The expression reads as follows:

a)232+26436+22+42a) \, 2\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{6} - 4\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{6} + 2\sqrt{2} + 4\sqrt{2}

Let's simplify this expression by combining like terms.

Simplification:

  1. Combine the 3\sqrt{3} terms: 2343=232\sqrt{3} - 4\sqrt{3} = -2\sqrt{3}

  2. Combine the 2\sqrt{2} terms: 2+22+42=52-\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{2} + 4\sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}

  3. Combine the 6\sqrt{6} terms: 266=62\sqrt{6} - \sqrt{6} = \sqrt{6}

Now, put all the simplified terms together:

23+52+6-2\sqrt{3} + 5\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6}

This is the simplified form of the expression.
