can someone help me with a foil question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(3\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}) (\sqrt{5}-7\sqrt{3})\]

OpenStudy (cruffo):

\[First:\; 3\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{5} = 3 \sqrt{25} = 3 \times 5 = 15\]

OpenStudy (cruffo):

\[Outer: \; 3\sqrt{5} \times (-7\sqrt{3}) = -21\sqrt{15}\]

OpenStudy (cruffo):

\[Inner: \; \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{5} = \sqrt{15}\]

OpenStudy (cruffo):

\[Last: \; \sqrt{3} \times (-7\sqrt{3}) = -7\sqrt{9} = -7 \times 3 = -21\]

OpenStudy (cruffo):

So all together \[(3\sqrt{5} +\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5} - 7\sqrt{3})\] \[= 15 - 21\sqrt{15} + \sqrt{15} - 21\] now gather like terms to finish.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-20\[-20\sqrt{15}-6\]

OpenStudy (cruffo):

cool!
