Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

(5√2 - 4√3)(5√2 - 4√3)

We can rewrite this equation into a more simpler form.

(5√2 - 4√3)²

Now, we multiply. When multiplying, its important we multiply each term instead of combining them together.

When you multiply a radical by itself, then the base number will be by itself as the product.

So......

(5)² = 25

(4)² = 16

(√2)² = 2

(√3)² = 3

So, now the equation looks like this..

(25 * 2) + (16 * 3)

Multiply the terms.

50 + 48

Add the numbers.

50 + 48 = 98

So, your answer will be answer choice D. The radical in choice D represents the radicals that are in the problem multiplied together.
