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

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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
