Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Multiplication of Polynomials by Binomials 1 Answer Gió Jun 21, 2015 #5-2=3# Explanation: #(sqrt(5)+sqrt(2))(sqrt(5)-sqrt(2))=# #=(sqrt(5)sqrt(5))cancel(-(sqrt(5)sqrt(2)))+cancel((sqrt(2)sqrt(5)))-(sqrt(2)sqrt(2))=# #=5-2=3# Answer link Related questions What is FOIL?
