To solve this problem, we will simplify the expression (√3-5√2)(√3+2) step by step using the surd method.
First, we will apply the difference of squares formula:
(√3-5√2)(√3+2) = (√3)^2 - (5√2)^2
Simplifying further:
= 3 - 25(2)
= 3 - 50
= -47
Therefore, a = -47 and b = 0 since there is no √6 term in the simplified expression.
