(square root of 14 +7)(square root of 14 -7)
-------------------
[sqrt(14) + 7][sqrt(14) - 7]
Use FOIL:
F: sqrt(14)*sqrt(14) = 14
O: -7sqrt(14)
I: -7sqrt(14)
L: 7*-7 = -49
-------------------
Combine to get:
-35 - 14sqrt(14)

Use FOIL to expand.

Foiling, we get: = *

* Since this product represents a DOTS, or Difference Of Two Squares, it can also be written as

Since in = 14, we will have (14 - 49), which equals
