The correct Answer is:
Let's simplify the given expressions step by step. ### Part (a): Simplify \((\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})^2\) 1. **Identify the formula**: We will use the formula for the square of a binomial, which states: \[ (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 \] Here, let \(a = \sqrt{3}\) and \(b = \sqrt{5}\). 2. **Apply the formula**: \[ (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5})^2 = (\sqrt{3})^2 + 2(\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5}) + (\sqrt{5})^2 \] 3. **Calculate each term**: - \((\sqrt{3})^2 = 3\) - \((\sqrt{5})^2 = 5\) - \(2(\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5}) = 2\sqrt{15}\) 4. **Combine the results**: \[ 3 + 5 + 2\sqrt{15} = 8 + 2\sqrt{15} \] Thus, the simplified expression for part (a) is: \[ \boxed{8 + 2\sqrt{15}} \]
