If x =√5−√2√5+√2and y =√5+√2√5−√2then find the value of x+y.

Answer»

Answer:

323

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

Given, x = ( √5 – 2 ) / ( √5 + 2 ) and y = ( √5 + 2 ) / ( √5 – 2 )

x = ( √5 – 2 ) / ( √5 + 2 )

= ( √5 – 2 ) / ( √5 + 2 ) × ( √5 – 2 ) / ( √5 – 2 )

= ( √5 – 2 )² / [ (√5)² – (2)² ]

= ( 9– 4√5 ) / ( 5 – 4 )

= 9 – 4 √5

y = ( √5 + 2 ) / ( √5 – 2 )

= ( √5 + 2 ) / ( √5 – 2 ) × ( √5 + 2 ) / ( √5 + 2 )

= ( √5 + 2 )² / [ (√5)² – (2)² ]

= ( 9 + 4√5 ) / ( 5 – 4 )

= 9 + 4√5

Now, x² + xy + y²

= ( 9 – 4√5 )² + ( 9 – 4√5)( 9 + 4√5 ) + ( 9 + 4√5 )²

= ( 81 – 72√5 + 80 ) + [ 9( 9 + 4√5 ) –4√5( 9 + 4√5 ) ] + ( 81 + 72√5 + 80 )

= ( 161 – 72√5 ) + ( 81 + 13√5 – 13√5 – 80 ) + ( 161 + 72√5 )

= 161 – 72√5 + 1 + 161 + 72√5

= 161 + 1 + 161

= 323
