What is the value of \(\left(\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{5}\right)\left(\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{5}\right)\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (8)
Step 1: This is of the form \((a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2\). Step 2: \((\sqrt{13})^2-(\sqrt{5})^2=13-5=8\). Step 3: In conjugate multiplication, directly use the difference of squares.
