The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the two given inequalities step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate the first inequality We have the first inequality: \[ \sqrt{15} + \sqrt{7} < 2\sqrt{22} \] To simplify this, we will square both sides of the inequality. ### Step 2: Square both sides Squaring both sides gives us: \[ (\sqrt{15} + \sqrt{7})^2 < (2\sqrt{22})^2 \] Calculating both sides: - Left side: \[ (\sqrt{15})^2 + 2\sqrt{15}\sqrt{7} + (\sqrt{7})^2 = 15 + 2\sqrt{105} + 7 = 22 + 2\sqrt{105} \] - Right side: \[ (2\sqrt{22})^2 = 4 \times 22 = 88 \] So we have: \[ 22 + 2\sqrt{105} < 88 \] ### Step 3: Isolate the square root Now, we isolate \(2\sqrt{105}\): \[ 2\sqrt{105} < 88 - 22 \] \[ 2\sqrt{105} < 66 \] Dividing both sides by 2: \[ \sqrt{105} < 33 \] Squaring both sides: \[ 105 < 1089 \] This is true, so the first inequality is correct. ### Step 4: Evaluate the second inequality Now we check the second inequality: \[ \sqrt{17} + \sqrt{5} < \sqrt{20} + \sqrt{2} \] Again, we will square both sides. ### Step 5: Square both sides Squaring both sides gives us: \[ (\sqrt{17} + \sqrt{5})^2 < (\sqrt{20} + \sqrt{2})^2 \] Calculating both sides: - Left side: \[ (\sqrt{17})^2 + 2\sqrt{17}\sqrt{5} + (\sqrt{5})^2 = 17 + 2\sqrt{85} + 5 = 22 + 2\sqrt{85} \] - Right side: \[ (\sqrt{20})^2 + 2\sqrt{20}\sqrt{2} + (\sqrt{2})^2 = 20 + 2\sqrt{40} + 2 = 22 + 2\sqrt{40} \] So we have: \[ 22 + 2\sqrt{85} < 22 + 2\sqrt{40} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the inequality We can cancel 22 from both sides: \[ 2\sqrt{85} < 2\sqrt{40} \] Dividing both sides by 2: \[ \sqrt{85} < \sqrt{40} \] Squaring both sides gives us: \[ 85 < 40 \] This is false, so the second inequality is incorrect. ### Conclusion The first inequality is true, and the second inequality is false. Therefore, the correct answer is: **(a) Only I**
