Math Problem Statement

(5√6 - 2√3)(5√6 + 2√3)

Solution

The expression in the image appears to be:

(5623)(56+23)(5\sqrt{6} - 2\sqrt{3})(5\sqrt{6} + 2\sqrt{3})

This is a product of two binomials in the form (ab)(a+b)(a - b)(a + b), which simplifies using the difference of squares formula:

(ab)(a+b)=a2b2(a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2

Here, a=56a = 5\sqrt{6} and b=23b = 2\sqrt{3}. Applying the formula:

(5623)(56+23)=(56)2(23)2(5\sqrt{6} - 2\sqrt{3})(5\sqrt{6} + 2\sqrt{3}) = (5\sqrt{6})^2 - (2\sqrt{3})^2

Now, let's simplify each term:

(56)2=25×6=150(5\sqrt{6})^2 = 25 \times 6 = 150 (23)2=4×3=12(2\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 \times 3 = 12

So, the expression simplifies to:

15012=138150 - 12 = 138

Thus, the result of the expression is 138.
