Math Problem Statement

√8+2√32-5√2

Solution

Let's simplify the expression 8+23252\sqrt{8} + 2\sqrt{32} - 5\sqrt{2}.

  1. Simplify each square root:

    • 8=4×2=4×2=22\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}
    • 32=16×2=16×2=42\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16 \times 2} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}
    • 2\sqrt{2} remains as it is.
  2. Substitute the simplified terms into the original expression: 22+2×42522\sqrt{2} + 2 \times 4\sqrt{2} - 5\sqrt{2}

  3. Simplify further by performing the multiplications: 22+82522\sqrt{2} + 8\sqrt{2} - 5\sqrt{2}

  4. Combine like terms:

    • 22+8252=(2+85)2=522\sqrt{2} + 8\sqrt{2} - 5\sqrt{2} = (2 + 8 - 5)\sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}

So, the simplified expression is 525\sqrt{2}.
