What is the value of (√(3) + √(2))^2?
Correct Answer: 5 + 2√(6)
- Step 1: Start with the expression (√(3) + √(2))^2.
- Step 2: Use the formula (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2, where a = √(3) and b = √(2).
- Step 3: Calculate a^2: (√(3))^2 = 3.
- Step 4: Calculate b^2: (√(2))^2 = 2.
- Step 5: Calculate 2ab: 2 * (√(3)) * (√(2)) = 2√(6).
- Step 6: Combine all parts: 3 + 2 + 2√(6).
- Step 7: Simplify the numbers: 3 + 2 = 5.
- Step 8: Write the final answer: 5 + 2√(6).
