We first find a quadratic equation with \[-1-\sqrt{5}\] and \[-1+\sqrt{5}\] as roots. We find the sum and product of the roots. Sum of roots: - 2 Product of roots: - 4 Now, we reverse the sign of the sum of the roots. That is 2. The equation is \[x^2 +2x-4=0\]. For the second quadratic equation. The equation must have \[2+\sqrt2 \] and \[2-\sqrt2\] as roots. Sum of roots: 4 Product of roots: 2 Again, invert the sign of the sum of roots. That is - 4. The equation is \[x^2 -4x+2=0\]. Multiply: \[(x^2 + 2x - 4)(x^2 -4x + 2) = 0\]. Then, the result is your final answer. Hope this helps a lot :)
