sqrt 50 +2sqrt32 -sqrt8
.
Usually this imvolves factoring under the radical, but with perfect squares only (1,4,9,16 etc)
.
sqrt(25*2) + 2sqrt(16*2) -sqrt(4*2)
.
separate factors using ,,,sqrt a*b = sqrt(a) *sqrt(b)
.
sqrt25*sqrt2 +2sqrt16*sqrt2 -sqrt4 sqrt2
.
5sqrt2 + 2*4*sqrt 2 - 2sqrt2
.
collect like terms,,, in the case sqrt2
.
(5 +2*4 -2) sqrt2
.
(5+8-2) sqrt2
.
11 sqrt2,,,,,, answer
.
checking by using calculator on answer (15.56),,,and on original (15.56),,,ok
