Question -

Find (a + b) 4 – (a – b) 4. Hence,evaluate (√3 + √2)4 – (√3 – √2)4.



Answer -

Firstly, let us solvethe given expression:

(a + b) 4 –(a – b) 4

The above expressioncan be expressed as,

(a + b) 4 –(a – b) 4 = 2 [4C1 a3b1 + 4C3 a1b3]

= 2 [4a3b +4ab3]

= 8 (a3b +ab3)

Now,

Let us evaluate theexpression:

(√3 + √2)4 –(√3 -√2)4

So consider, a = √3and b = √2 we get,

(√3 + √2)4 –(√3 -√2)4 = 8 (a3b + ab3)

= 8 [(√3)3 (√2)+ (√3) (√2)3]

= 8 [(3√6) + (2√6)]

= 8 (5√6)

= 40√6
