The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( (1+\sqrt{5})^2 + ? = \sqrt{20} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Expand \( (1+\sqrt{5})^2 \) Using the formula for the square of a binomial, \( (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 \), where \( a = 1 \) and \( b = \sqrt{5} \): \[ (1+\sqrt{5})^2 = 1^2 + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot \sqrt{5} + (\sqrt{5})^2 \] Calculating each term: - \( 1^2 = 1 \) - \( 2 \cdot 1 \cdot \sqrt{5} = 2\sqrt{5} \) - \( (\sqrt{5})^2 = 5 \) Putting it all together: \[ (1+\sqrt{5})^2 = 1 + 2\sqrt{5} + 5 = 6 + 2\sqrt{5} \] ### Step 2: Substitute back into the equation Now we substitute back into the original equation: \[ 6 + 2\sqrt{5} + ? = \sqrt{20} \] ### Step 3: Simplify \( \sqrt{20} \) We can simplify \( \sqrt{20} \): \[ \sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 5} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{5} = 2\sqrt{5} \] ### Step 4: Set up the equation to solve for ? Now we have: \[ 6 + 2\sqrt{5} + ? = 2\sqrt{5} \] ### Step 5: Isolate the question mark (?) To find \( ? \), we subtract \( 6 + 2\sqrt{5} \) from both sides: \[ ? = 2\sqrt{5} - (6 + 2\sqrt{5}) \] This simplifies to: \[ ? = 2\sqrt{5} - 6 - 2\sqrt{5} \] The \( 2\sqrt{5} \) terms cancel out: \[ ? = -6 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value that should come in place of the question mark is: \[ \boxed{-6} \]
