OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

in radical form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not decimal
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
i dont think you can simplify \(\sqrt 5+\sqrt 2\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@UnkleRhaukus , correct :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You just leave the answer as an addition of radicals.

ok so this is the question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(sq root of 5 + sq root of 2) ( sq root of 5 - sq root of 2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt(5+\sqrt(2)) \sqrt(5-\sqrt(2))\]
\[\sqrt((5-\sqrt(2)) (5+\sqrt(2)))\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so... it would be \[\sqrt(23)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you soooo mucchhh but how did u get it? :D

No that's incorrect.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{3})=(\sqrt{5}^{2}-\sqrt{5}\sqrt{3}+\sqrt{5}\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}^{2})\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry replace all the "3" with "2"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[=(5-2)=3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that' s your answer
