Question 2(iii)

Simplify the following expression:

(5+2)(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2}) 2

Answer

(5+2)(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2}) 2

= (a + b)2

= a2 + 2ab + b2

= (5)(\sqrt{5}) 2 + 2 x (5)(\sqrt{5}) x (2)(\sqrt{2}) + (2)(\sqrt{2}) 2 [∵ (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]

= 5 + 2 (10)(\sqrt{10}) + 2

= 7 + 2 (10)(\sqrt{10})

Hence,(5+2)(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{2}) 2 = 7 + 2 (10)(\sqrt{10})
