Algebra.Com's Answer #33176 by ilana(307) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I am going to use the notation \"rt\" for \"square root of\", so the problem is (2rt3-3rt10)(6rt10-3rt3). Now, we use the FOIL method, or any method of multiplying binomials. If it is confusing for you to use radicals, you can pretend the rt3 and rt10 are variables, like x and y. So you get 12rt3rt10 - 6rt3rt3 - 18rt10rt10 + 9rt10rt3. rt3rt10 = rt10rt3 = rt30, rt3rt3=3, and rt10rt10=10, so we get 12rt30-18-180+9rt30, so the final answer is 21rt30-198. \n" ); document.write( " |
