(Vm + 1 + 2)*.
27x2
(d)
Strategy
In part (a), we will use the definition of square root. In part (b), we will use a power rule for exponents. In parts (c) and (d), we will use the FOIL method.
Why
Part (a) is the square of a square root, part (b) has the form (xy)", and part (c) has the form (x + y)².
Solution
(a)
(V5)2
Because the square of the square root of 5 is 5.
(b)
We can use the power of a product rule for exponents to find (2V 7x2 ).
(2i/72)' = '

Combine like radicals: -8/3 - 8/3 = -16/3.
= 67 – 16/3
Combine like terms: 64 + 3 = 67.
Success Tip
