\($(5+2\sqrt7)^4$ \) using the binomial expansion
C(4,0) *5^4 + C(4,1) * (5)^3 * (2√7) + C(4,2) * (5^2) * (2√7)^2 + C(4, 3) * (5) (2√7)^3 + C(4, 4)*(2√7)^4 =
625 + 4 * (125) * 2√7 + 6 * 25 * 4*7 + 4 *5 * (8 ) *(√7)^3 + 2^4 * (√7)^4 =
625 + 1000√7 + 4200 + 160* 7 * √7 + 16 * 49 =
625 + 1000√7 + 4200 + 1120√7 + 784 =
5609 + 2120√7 ≈ 11,218 [ to the nearest integer ]
Using just the on-site calculator: Is that 2 divided by sqrt 7?
(5+(2/sqrt(7)))^4 = 1097.6444772902544618 ~~ 1098
If it is 2 * sqrt 7:
(5+(2*sqrt7))^4 = 11217.9927794569320519 ~~ 11218
