EXAMPLE 5 Find: (a) (V5? (b) (2i/7x?) (e) (8- v3)° (d) (Vm+1+2)°. Strategy In part (a), we will use the definition of square root. In part (b), we will use a power rule for exponents. In parts (c) and (d), we will use the FOIL method. Why Part (a) is the square of a square root, part (b) has the form (xy)", and part (c) has the form (x + y)². (V5)? =Ox Solution (а) Because the square of the square root of 5 is 5. (21 7)'. (b) We can use the power of a product rule for exponents to find (21/7)' - 2{(V/7)' Raise each factor of 27x to the 3rd power. (Ox )(7x²) Evaluate: 23 = 8. Use = a. = 56x? Multiply: 8. 7 = 56 () (8 - v3) - (8 - v3)(s - v3) Write the base 8 - V3 as a factor twice. = 64 – 8/3 - 8/3 + /3/3 Use the FOIL method = 64 - 16/3 + 3 = 67 - 16/3 Combine like radicals: -8/3 - 8y3 = -16/3. Combine like terms: 64 + 3 = 67. (8 - v3) Success Tip Since has the form (x - y)?, we could also use special product rule to find this square of a difference quickly. (d) We can use the FOIL method to find the product. (/m + 1 + 2)? = (Vm + 1 + 2)(/m+ 1 + 2) m+ + 2/m + 1 + 2/m + 1 + 2 · 2 %3D = m +1+ 2/ m + 1 + 2/m + 1 +Ox Use = a. = m + 4V m + 1 +| ......
