2)a) \(\sqrt{17-12\sqrt{2}}-2\sqrt{2}\)
\(=\sqrt{\left(3-2\sqrt{2}\right)^2}-2\sqrt{2}\)
\(=\left|3-2\sqrt{2}\right|-2\sqrt{2}\)
\(=3-2\sqrt{2}-2\sqrt{2}\)
\(=3-4\sqrt{2}\)
b) \(\sqrt{15-6\sqrt{6}}+\sqrt{6}\)
\(=\sqrt{\left(3-\sqrt{6}\right)^2}+\sqrt{6}\)
\(=\left|3-\sqrt{6}\right|+\sqrt{6}\)
\(=3-\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{6}\)
\(=3\)
