Math Problem Statement
Solve (√5+√3)(3√2-5√6)
Solution
We can solve the expression by using the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials). Let's break it down step by step:
The expression is:
Step 1: Distribute each term in the first parentheses to each term in the second parentheses.
-
First, distribute to both terms in the second binomial:
-
Next, distribute to both terms in the second binomial:
Step 2: Simplify the square roots.
- simplifies as follows: So, becomes:
Step 3: Combine all the terms.
Now, let's combine all the results from the distribution:
So, the final expanded expression is:
This is the simplified result of the product.
