The correct Answer is:
To find the square of \( \sqrt{5} - 2 \), we can use the identity for the square of a binomial, which is: \[ (A - B)^2 = A^2 - 2AB + B^2 \] ### Step-by-step solution: 1. **Identify A and B**: In our case, we have: - \( A = \sqrt{5} \) - \( B = 2 \) 2. **Apply the identity**: Substitute \( A \) and \( B \) into the identity: \[ (\sqrt{5} - 2)^2 = (\sqrt{5})^2 - 2 \cdot \sqrt{5} \cdot 2 + (2)^2 \] 3. **Calculate \( A^2 \)**: \[ (\sqrt{5})^2 = 5 \] 4. **Calculate \( B^2 \)**: \[ (2)^2 = 4 \] 5. **Calculate \( -2AB \)**: \[ -2 \cdot \sqrt{5} \cdot 2 = -4\sqrt{5} \] 6. **Combine the results**: Now, substitute back into the equation: \[ (\sqrt{5} - 2)^2 = 5 - 4\sqrt{5} + 4 \] 7. **Simplify**: Combine the constant terms: \[ 5 + 4 = 9 \] So, we have: \[ (\sqrt{5} - 2)^2 = 9 - 4\sqrt{5} \] ### Final Answer: \[ (\sqrt{5} - 2)^2 = 9 - 4\sqrt{5} \]
