Is it suppose to be -1 ?
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
No. 5 and \(\sqrt{5}\) are not the same thing.
OpenStudy (mathmale):
Hello, Ello,
May I suggest that you simplify the 2nd term of your result?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It says to apply distributive property :o

Personally, I would never, ever write \(\sqrt{5}\cdot\sqrt{5} = \sqrt{25}\) unless I was trying to make some point that doesn't come to mind. \(\sqrt{5}\cdot\sqrt{5} = 5\).
Just my opinion.

This is what they put,
√5(4−√5)
(√5)(4)−(√5)(√5)
4√5−(√5•5)
4√5−5
−5+4√5

I did it first on paper to see if i could do it on my own D:
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
Well, there you go. Don't you dare write that "-1" and blue oval, again!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
O_O what?!

So I'm suppose to just keep it -5 + 4sqr5 ?
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
What else were you planning to do with it? There are no "like" terms to process.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohh i forgot that they're suppose to be like terms U_U -sigh-
Sanku :P
