Answer

$5\sqrt{2}+9$

Work Step by Step

Simplify the radicals that can still be simplified by factoring the radicand so that one of the factors is a perfect square: $=\sqrt{4(2)}+\sqrt{4^2}+\sqrt{9(2)}+\sqrt{5^2} \\=\sqrt{2^2(2)}+4+\sqrt{3^2(2)}+5 \\=2\sqrt{2}+4+3\sqrt{2}+5$ RECALL: For any real numbers $, a, b,$ and $c$, $ac+bc=(a+b)c$ Use the rule above to combine like terms: $=(2\sqrt{2}+3\sqrt{2}) + 4+5 \\=(2+3)\sqrt{2}+9 \\=5\sqrt{2}+9$
