To simplify the expression \((\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5})(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5})\), you can use the difference of squares formula, which states that \((a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2\).
Here, let:
- \( a = \sqrt{7} \)
- \( b = \sqrt{5} \)
Now, apply the formula:
\[ (\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5})(\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}) = a^2 - b^2 \]
Calculating \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \):
\[ a^2 = (\sqrt{7})^2 = 7 \] \[ b^2 = (\sqrt{5})^2 = 5 \]
Now substitute these back into the expression:
\[ a^2 - b^2 = 7 - 5 = 2 \]
Thus, the simplified result is:
\[ \boxed{2} \]
