How do I add and subtract radicals with no like terms

Most real number arithmetic is pretty vacuous

\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}

That's about as good a way as possible to write this particular real number. But it's far from the only way.

(\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3)^2 = \sqrt{2}^2 + 2\sqrt 2 \sqrt 3 + \sqrt{3}^2 = 5 + 2 \sqrt 6

so

\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 = \sqrt{5 + 2 \sqrt 6}

Sometimes you can factor something out and you have a common radical:

\sqrt{32} + \sqrt{128} = \sqrt{2^5} + \sqrt{2^7} = 4 \sqrt{2} + 8 \sqrt{2} = 12 \sqrt{2}

But most of them are vacuous,

3\sqrt{7} + 34 \sqrt{13} = 3\sqrt{7} + 34 \sqrt{13}

rodikova [14]

Answer: In 5 years it will be worth £455

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Given

The cost of the T.V. for Colin = £530.

The rate of depreciation per year = 3%

Time/ period = 5 years

Formulae to be used

F = P  X (1 - r) ^ n

where

F = the future value after depreciation

P = the present value.

r =the interest rate per time period

n = the time/ periods

Step 2--- SOLVING

F = P  X (1- r) ^ n

F= 530 x (1-0.03) ^ 5

=530 x 0.858734

=£455.129

Rounding up to the nearest penny where appropriate = £455
