Answer

$5+2\sqrt6$

Work Step by Step

$(\sqrt2+\sqrt3)^2$= $(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt3)(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt3)$ Use the FOIL method to multiply the binomial. Multiply the First terms, the Outside terms, the Inside terms, and the Last terms. $(\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{2})+(\sqrt2\times(\sqrt3))+(\sqrt2\times\sqrt3)+(\sqrt3\times(\sqrt3))$ Simplify. $2+\sqrt{6}+\sqrt6+3$ Combine like terms/like radicals. $5+2\sqrt6$
