Question

1) \(\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}}+\frac{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}\)

2) \(x+2y-\sqrt{\left(x^2-4xy+4y^2\right)^2\left(x\ge2y\right)}\)

3) 4x + \(\sqrt{\left(x-12\right)^2}\left(x\ge2\right)\)

Answer 1

1) \(\frac{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}}+\frac{\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}}\)

= \(\frac{ \left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}\right)^2}{\left(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}\right)\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}\right)}+\frac{\left(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}\right)^2}{\left(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}\right)\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}\right)}\)

= \(\frac{\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}\right)^2+\left(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}\right)^2}{\left(\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{5}\right)\left(\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{5}\right)}\) = \(\frac{\left(\sqrt{7}\right)^2+2\sqrt{7}.\sqrt{5}+\left(\sqrt{5}\right)^2+\left(\sqrt{7}\right)^2-2\sqrt{7}.\sqrt{5}+\left(\sqrt{5}\right)^2}{\left(\sqrt{7}\right)^2-\left(\sqrt{5}\right)^2}\)

= \(\frac{7+2\sqrt{35}+5+7-2\sqrt{35}+5}{7-5}\) = \(\frac{24}{2}=12\)

2) \(x+2y-\sqrt{\left(x^2-4xy+4y^2\right)^2}\left(x\ge2y\right)\)

= \(x+2y-\sqrt{\left(x-2y\right)^4}\) = \(x+2y-|x-2y|\)

= \(x+2y-\left(x-2y\right)\) = \(x+2y-x+2y=4y\)

3)\(4x+\sqrt{\left(x-12\right)^2}\left(x\ge2\right)\)

= \(4x+x-12=5x-12\)
