To add 26–√+6–√, you first need to simplify each square root term separately. The square root of a number can be simplified by finding the largest square number that is a factor of that number. Let's simplify the square root terms:
√26 cannot be simplified further because there are no perfect square factors of 26.
√6 can be simplified by finding the largest perfect square factor of 6. Since 6 is divisible by 2, and 2 is a perfect square (2 * 2 = 4), we can simplify √6 to 2√2.
Now that we have simplified the square root terms, we can add them:
26 – √ + 6 – √ = 26 + 6 – √26 – √6
Adding the whole numbers:
26 + 6 = 32
Now let's put back the simplified square root terms:
32 – √26 – 2√2
So the result of adding 26–√+6–√ is 32 – √26 – 2√2.
