Math Problem Statement

Solve (√5+√3)(3√2-5√6)

Solution

We can solve the expression (5+3)(3256)(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})(3\sqrt{2} - 5\sqrt{6}) by using the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials). Let's break it down step by step:

The expression is:

(5+3)(3256)(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})(3\sqrt{2} - 5\sqrt{6})

Step 1: Distribute each term in the first parentheses to each term in the second parentheses.

  • First, distribute 5\sqrt{5} to both terms in the second binomial: 532=310\sqrt{5} \cdot 3\sqrt{2} = 3\sqrt{10} 5(56)=530\sqrt{5} \cdot (-5\sqrt{6}) = -5\sqrt{30}

  • Next, distribute 3\sqrt{3} to both terms in the second binomial: 332=36\sqrt{3} \cdot 3\sqrt{2} = 3\sqrt{6} 3(56)=518\sqrt{3} \cdot (-5\sqrt{6}) = -5\sqrt{18}

Step 2: Simplify the square roots.

  • 18\sqrt{18} simplifies as follows: 18=9×2=32\sqrt{18} = \sqrt{9 \times 2} = 3\sqrt{2} So, 518-5\sqrt{18} becomes: 518=5×32=152-5\sqrt{18} = -5 \times 3\sqrt{2} = -15\sqrt{2}

Step 3: Combine all the terms.

Now, let's combine all the results from the distribution: 310530+361523\sqrt{10} - 5\sqrt{30} + 3\sqrt{6} - 15\sqrt{2}

So, the final expanded expression is:

310530+361523\sqrt{10} - 5\sqrt{30} + 3\sqrt{6} - 15\sqrt{2}

This is the simplified result of the product.
