write these in a form a+b√c?
1) (√2+3)(√3+1)
2) (2√5+2)(√5-4)
help please im confused
I'll just do the 1st one for you.
1) (√2+3)(√3+1)
$$\\=\sqrt2(\sqrt3+1)+3(\sqrt3+1)\\\\
=\sqrt6+\sqrt2+3\sqrt3+3\\\\$$
Umm I am confused too. I think that there is a mistake in the question.
Lets look at the second one.
(2√5+2)(√5-4)
$$\\=2\sqrt5(\sqrt5-4)+2(\sqrt5-4)\\\\
=2\times5 - 8\sqrt5+2\sqrt5-8\\\\
=10-8 - 8\sqrt5+2\sqrt5\\\\
=2 - 6\sqrt5\\\\$$
That is good for the second one.
