Math Problem Statement
2sqrt(2-sqrt3)(2+sqrt3) = (sqrt2) + (sqrt6)
Solution
Let's analyze and solve the equation step by step.
We have the expression:
Step 1: Expand the left-hand side (LHS)
We will multiply the term with . To do this, let's simplify first.
But before expanding it, let's assume this expression can be transformed into the right-hand side. First, we check if multiplying these terms will eventually lead to the simplified form of .
Step 2: Assume the simplification of the product
We explore whether simplifying this product leads to .
I will calculate and simplify this step to confirm if this equality holds.
Let me perform the calculation.Upon simplifying both sides:
- The left-hand side (LHS) remains as .
- The right-hand side (RHS) is .
These two expressions are not equal. Therefore, the equation: is false.
