Question
Simplify the following expression:
`(sqrt5+sqrt2)^2`
Advertisements
Solution
The given expression is `(sqrt5 + sqrt2)^2`
We know that (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
⇒ `(sqrt5 + sqrt2)^2 =(sqrt5)^2 + (sqrt2)^2 + 2 xx sqrt5 xx sqrt2`
⇒ `(sqrt5 + sqrt2)^2 = 5 + 2 + 2sqrt10`
∴ `(sqrt5 + sqrt2)^2 = 7 + 2sqrt10`
