توضیح
Note that \(\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}} \times - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}\)
= \(\frac{10\sqrt{15}}{\sqrt{5}} = 2\sqrt{15}\)
hence, (\(\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}} - \sqrt{15}\))2 = (\(2\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15}\))2
= (\(2\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15}\))(\(2\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15}\))
= 4\(\sqrt{15 \times 15} - 2\sqrt{15 \times 15} - 2\sqrt{15 x 15} + \sqrt{15 \times 15}\)
= 4 x 15 - 2 x 15 - 2 x 15 + 15
= 60 - 30 - 30 + 15
= 15
= \(\frac{10\sqrt{15}}{\sqrt{5}} = 2\sqrt{15}\)
hence, (\(\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}} - \sqrt{15}\))2 = (\(2\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15}\))2
= (\(2\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15}\))(\(2\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15}\))
= 4\(\sqrt{15 \times 15} - 2\sqrt{15 \times 15} - 2\sqrt{15 x 15} + \sqrt{15 \times 15}\)
= 4 x 15 - 2 x 15 - 2 x 15 + 15
= 60 - 30 - 30 + 15
= 15
