I am having some trouble with square roots. I have been trying lots to solve these problems, but I just can't get it! Thanks for any help anyone can provide!!!

Here are the questions:

 

1. (square root of 2 - square root of three)^2

 

2. (3 square root of five - 2 square root of three) x (3 square root of five - 2 square root of three)

 

3. Write the least and the greatest in this set of numbers. 5 square root of 7, 3 square root of 7, 4 square root of 7, square root of seven or 6 square root of seven

 

 

Any help is truly appreciated! Thank you! laugh

1.  [sqrt(2) - sqrt(3)]2  =  [sqrt(2) - sqrt(3)] · [sqrt(2) - sqrt(3)]

                                   =  sqrt(2)·sqrt(2) - sqrt(3)·sqrt(2) - sqrt(2)·sqrt(3) + sqrt(3)·sqrt(3)

                                   =            2                  - 2·sqrt(2)·sqrt(3)                      + 3

                                   =     5 -  2·sqrt(2)·sqrt(3)

                                   =     5  - 2sqrt(6)

 

2.  [ 3sqrt(5) - 2sqrt(3) ] x [ 3sqrt(5) - 2sqrt(3) ]

     =  3sqrt(5)·3sqrt(5) + 3sqrt(5)·-2sqrt(3) - 2sqrt(3)·3sqrt(5) - 2sqrt(3)·-2sqrt(3)

     =  9·5  -  6sqrt(5)·sqrt(3)  - 6sqrt(3)sqrt(5) + 4·3

     =  45 - 12sqrt(3)sqrt(5) + 12

     =  57 - 12sqrt(3)sqrt(5)

     =  57 - 12sqrt(15)

 

3.  sqrt(7) < 3sqrt(7) < 4sqrt(7) < 5sqrt(7) < 6sqrt(7)
