How do you solve radical equations such as:
(6-square root 10)(2+square root 10)
---------------
There's no equal sign, so it's not an equation. Also, there's no variable to solve for.
-------------
(6-square root 10)(2+square root 10)
You can multiply the 2 binomials, same way as any other 2.
%286-sqrt%2810%29%29%282%2Bsqrt%2810%29%29
= 6%2A2+%2B+6sqrt%2810%29+-+2sqrt%2810%29+-+10
= 2+%2B+4sqrt%2810%29
