Math Problem Statement

(√5 + 5√2)(3√7 + 2√2)

Solution

The problem you're asking for involves simplifying the expression:

(5+52)(37+22)(\sqrt{5} + 5\sqrt{2})(3\sqrt{7} + 2\sqrt{2})

We will simplify this by using the distributive property (also known as FOIL in this case).

Let's proceed step by step:

  1. Distribute 5\sqrt{5} to both terms in the second bracket: = 3\sqrt{35} + 2\sqrt{10}$$
  2. Distribute 525\sqrt{2} to both terms in the second bracket: = 15\sqrt{14} + 10\cdot2 = 15\sqrt{14} + 20$$

Now, combine all the terms:

335+210+1514+203\sqrt{35} + 2\sqrt{10} + 15\sqrt{14} + 20

This is the simplified form of the expression.
