Combine Square Roots: First, let's simplify each square root separately by combining them where possible and simplifying any perfect squares.We start with the first term rs5r2s5rs.
Multiply Inside Square Root: Combine the square roots in the first term using the property ab=ab:rs×5r2s×5rs=rs×5r2s×5rs.
Simplify Inside Square Root: Now, multiply the terms inside the square root: rs×5r2s×5rs=5×5×r×r2×s×s×r×s.
Evaluate Perfect Squares: Simplify the expression inside the square root: 25×r4×s3=25×r4×s3.
Simplify First Term: Evaluate the square roots of the perfect squares: 25=5, r4=r2, and s3 cannot be simplified further. So, the first term becomes 5×r2×s3.
Combine Square Roots: Now, let's simplify the second term 15r3sr135s2. Combine the square roots using the property ab=ab: 15r3s×r×135s2=15r3s×r×135s2.
Multiply Inside Square Root: Multiply the terms inside the square root: 15r3s×r×135s2=15×135×r3×r×s×s2.
Simplify Inside Square Root: Simplify the expression inside the square root: 2025×r4×s3=2025×r4×s3.
Evaluate Perfect Squares: Evaluate the square roots of the perfect squares: 2025=45, r4=r2, and s3 cannot be simplified further. So, the second term becomes 45×r2×s3.
Simplify Second Term: Now we have the simplified forms of both terms:First term: 5×r2×s3Second term: 45×r2×s3Subtract the second term from the first term:5×r2×s3−45×r2×s3.
Subtract Terms: Factor out the common factor r2s3:r2s3×(5−45).
Factor Out Common Factor: Subtract the numbers inside the parentheses:5−45=−40.So, the expression simplifies to:−40×r2×s3.
