289\text{289}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Simplify the expressions for xx and yy.

    We are given x=2−32+3x = \frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}} and y=2+32−3y = \frac{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}.
    Notice that y=1xy = \frac{1}{x}.
    First, rationalize the denominator for xx:

    x=2−32+3×2−32−3x = \frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3}} x=(2−3)2(2)2−(3)2x = \frac{(\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{3})^2}{(\sqrt{2})^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2} x=2−223+32−3x = \frac{2 - 2\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3} + 3}{2 - 3} x=5−26−1x = \frac{5 - 2\sqrt{6}}{-1} x=−5+26x = -5 + 2\sqrt{6}

    Since y=1xy = \frac{1}{x}, we can also find yy:

    y=1−5+26×−5−26−5−26y = \frac{1}{-5 + 2\sqrt{6}} \times \frac{-5 - 2\sqrt{6}}{-5 - 2\sqrt{6}} y=−5−26(−5)2−(26)2y = \frac{-5 - 2\sqrt{6}}{(-5)^2 - (2\sqrt{6})^2} y=−5−2625−(4×6)y = \frac{-5 - 2\sqrt{6}}{25 - (4 \times 6)} y=−5−2625−24y = \frac{-5 - 2\sqrt{6}}{25 - 24} y=−5−26y = -5 - 2\sqrt{6}
  2. Calculate xyxy.

    Since y=1xy = \frac{1}{x}, their product is:

    xy=x⋅1x=1xy = x \cdot \frac{1}{x} = 1
  3. Calculate x2x^2 and y2y^2.

    x2=(−5+26)2x^2 = (-5 + 2\sqrt{6})^2 x2=(−5)2+2(−5)(26)+(26)2x^2 = (-5)^2 + 2(-5)(2\sqrt{6}) + (2\sqrt{6})^2 x2=25−206+4×6x^2 = 25 - 20\sqrt{6} + 4 \times 6 x2=25−206+24x^2 = 25 - 20\sqrt{6} + 24 x2=49−206x^2 = 49 - 20\sqrt{6} y2=(−5−26)2y^2 = (-5 - 2\sqrt{6})^2 y2=(−5)2+2(−5)(−26)+(−26)2y^2 = (-5)^2 + 2(-5)(-2\sqrt{6}) + (-2\sqrt{6})^2 y2=25+206+4×6y^2 = 25 + 20\sqrt{6} + 4 \times 6 y2=25+206+24y^2 = 25 + 20\sqrt{6} + 24 y2=49+206y^2 = 49 + 20\sqrt{6}
  4. Substitute the values into the expression 3x2−5xy+3y23x^2 - 5xy + 3y^2.

    3x2−5xy+3y2=3(49−206)−5(1)+3(49+206)3x^2 - 5xy + 3y^2 = 3(49 - 20\sqrt{6}) - 5(1) + 3(49 + 20\sqrt{6}) =147−606−5+147+606= 147 - 60\sqrt{6} - 5 + 147 + 60\sqrt{6} =(147+147−5)+(−606+606)= (147 + 147 - 5) + (-60\sqrt{6} + 60\sqrt{6}) =294−5+0= 294 - 5 + 0 =289= 289

    The value of 3x2−5xy+3y23x^2 - 5xy + 3y^2 is 289\boxed{\text{289}}.
