\[(\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3)}(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3)}\] something like that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-1
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
use the rule:\[(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2\]
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
in your case:\[a=\sqrt{2}\]\[b=\sqrt{3}\]

can you show your working please?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok give me a min to type it in
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{4}\]\[ \sqrt{6}\] is that right do far
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{9} i mean
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
are you trying to multiply out the expression?\[(\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3})\]

yea\[\sqrt{4 }+\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{9}\]
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
that is correct, so the sqrt{6}'s will cancel out leaving you:\[\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{9}=2-3=-1\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would the 6's cancel out and leave \[\sqrt{4}-\sqrt{9}\]
OpenStudy (asnaseer):
however, if you spot the "pattern" of the question, and if you are familiar with the relation:\[a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\]then you can do this quicker
