First problem: sqrt 15b * sqrt 3b= sqrt 45b^2. You can simplify this to 3b sqrt 5, because 9 times 5 is 45, and 9 is a perfect square. So, sqrt of 9 is 3 and you leave that outside of the radical sign. Sqrt of b^2 is b, so you leave that outside of the radical sign. 5 is not a perfect square, you put that under the radical sign. So, 3b sqrt 5.
Plug in a same number to both equations, you should get the same answer!
The second problem. (2-sqrt6)(1+sqrt6). Use FOIL to solve this. So, 2*1 is 2. 2*sqrt6 is 2sqrt6. -sqrt6*1 is -1sqrt6. -sqrt6*sqrt6 is -6, since the radical sign cancel outs. So, then answer is -4+1sqrt6.
