Math Problem Statement

(√2 + √3 + 2 + √5)(-√2 + √3 + 2 - √5)(√10 + 2√3) = ?

Solution

The expression in the image is:

(2+3+2+5)(2+3+25)(10+23)(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + 2 + \sqrt{5})(-\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + 2 - \sqrt{5})(\sqrt{10} + 2\sqrt{3})

Let's break this down step by step.

  1. First Step: Simplify the product of the first two binomials:

(2+3+2+5)(2+3+25)(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + 2 + \sqrt{5})(-\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + 2 - \sqrt{5})

We'll use the distributive property and simplify like terms.

Step 1: Expanding the First Two Terms

We will expand this using distributive property (like FOIL for more than two terms).

Let me calculate it.The product of the first two expressions simplifies to:

210+43-2\sqrt{10} + 4\sqrt{3}

Step 2: Multiply the result by 10+23\sqrt{10} + 2\sqrt{3}.

We now have:

(210+43)(10+23)(-2\sqrt{10} + 4\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{10} + 2\sqrt{3})

Let's expand this expression next.The final result of the entire expression is:

44

Thus, the correct answer is E. 4.
