The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following statements is true, we need to compare the values of \( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} \) and \( \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2} \). We can do this by squaring both expressions and comparing the results. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Square the first expression**: \[ (\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})^2 = (\sqrt{5})^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2 + 2 \cdot \sqrt{5} \cdot \sqrt{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ 5 + 3 + 2\sqrt{15} = 8 + 2\sqrt{15} \] 2. **Square the second expression**: \[ (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})^2 = (\sqrt{6})^2 + (\sqrt{2})^2 + 2 \cdot \sqrt{6} \cdot \sqrt{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ 6 + 2 + 2\sqrt{12} = 8 + 2\sqrt{12} \] 3. **Compare the two squared results**: We have: \[ 8 + 2\sqrt{15} \quad \text{and} \quad 8 + 2\sqrt{12} \] Since both expressions have the same constant term (8), we only need to compare the terms involving square roots: \[ 2\sqrt{15} \quad \text{and} \quad 2\sqrt{12} \] 4. **Determine which square root is greater**: We know that: \[ \sqrt{15} > \sqrt{12} \] Therefore: \[ 2\sqrt{15} > 2\sqrt{12} \] 5. **Conclude the comparison**: Since \( 8 + 2\sqrt{15} > 8 + 2\sqrt{12} \), we can conclude that: \[ (\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3})^2 > (\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2})^2 \] Taking the square root of both sides (since both sides are positive), we find: \[ \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} > \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2} \] Thus, the correct answer is that \( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} \) is greater than \( \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2} \). ### Final Answer: The correct option is option 1: \( \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3} > \sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2} \). ---
