The formula for
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b 2
Expand and simplify the following perfect squares :
Problem 1 :
(1 + √2)2
Solution :
(1 + √2)2
Using algebraic identities.
= (1)2 + (√2)2 + 2(1)(√2)
= 1 + 2 + 2√2
= 3 + 2√2
Problem 2 :
(√3 + 2)2
Solution :
(√3 + 2)2
Using algebraic identities.
= (√3)2 + (2)2 + 2(√3)(2)
= 3 + 4 + 4√3
= 7 + 4√3
Problem 3 :
(1 + √5)2
Solution :
(1 + √5)2
Using algebraic identities.
= (1)2 + (√5)2 + 2(1)(√5)
= 1 + 5 + 2√5
= 6 + 2√5
Problem 4 :
(1 + 3√2)2
Solution :
(1 + 3√2)2
Using algebraic identities.
= (1)2 + (3√2)2 + 2(1)(3√2)
= 1 + 9(2) + 6√2
= 1 + 18 + 6√2
= 19 + 6√2
Problem 5 :
(4√3 + 5)2
Solution :
(4√3 + 5)2
Using algebraic identities.
= (4√3)2 + (5)2 + 2(4√3)(5)
= 16(3) + 25 + 40(√3)
= 48 + 25 + 40(√3)
= 73 + 40(√3)
Problem 6 :
(2√11 + 3)2
Solution :
(2√11 + 3)2
Using algebraic identities.
= (2√11)2 + (3)2 + 2(2√11)(3)
= 4(11) + 9 + 12(√11)
= 44 + 9 + 12(√11)
= 53 + 12(√11)
