Math Problem Statement

Multiply and express in simplest radical form: left parenthesis, 3, plus, square root of, 7, end square root, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, 5, plus, 3, square root of, 28, end square root, right parenthesis (3+ 7 ​ )(5+3 28 ​ )

Solution

Let's calculate the expression:

(3+7)(5+328)(3 + \sqrt{7})(5 + 3\sqrt{28})

Step 1: Simplify 28\sqrt{28}

First, simplify 28\sqrt{28}. Notice that 28=4×728 = 4 \times 7, so:

28=4×7=4×7=27\sqrt{28} = \sqrt{4 \times 7} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{7} = 2\sqrt{7}

Now, the expression becomes:

(3+7)(5+67)(3 + \sqrt{7})(5 + 6\sqrt{7})

Step 2: Apply the distributive property

Use the distributive property to expand the expression:

(3+7)(5+67)=3(5+67)+7(5+67)(3 + \sqrt{7})(5 + 6\sqrt{7}) = 3(5 + 6\sqrt{7}) + \sqrt{7}(5 + 6\sqrt{7})

Step 3: Multiply each term

Expand each part:

  1. 3(5+67)=3×5+3×67=15+1873(5 + 6\sqrt{7}) = 3 \times 5 + 3 \times 6\sqrt{7} = 15 + 18\sqrt{7}
  2. 7(5+67)=7×5+7×67=57+6×7=57+42\sqrt{7}(5 + 6\sqrt{7}) = \sqrt{7} \times 5 + \sqrt{7} \times 6\sqrt{7} = 5\sqrt{7} + 6 \times 7 = 5\sqrt{7} + 42

Step 4: Combine like terms

Now, combine the results from the two expansions:

15+187+57+4215 + 18\sqrt{7} + 5\sqrt{7} + 42

Combine the constants and the terms with 7\sqrt{7}:

(15+42)+(187+57)=57+237(15 + 42) + (18\sqrt{7} + 5\sqrt{7}) = 57 + 23\sqrt{7}

Final Answer:

The simplified expression is:

57+237\boxed{57 + 23\sqrt{7}}
