The expression \( 2\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{2} + 1 \) is already in its simplest form because it consists of different terms that cannot be combined further since they involve different square roots.
If you need a numerical approximation of the expression, you can evaluate it as follows:
Calculate \( \sqrt{5} \) and \( \sqrt{2} \):
- \( \sqrt{5} \approx 2.236 \)
- \( \sqrt{2} \approx 1.414 \)
Substitute these values into the expression: \[ 2(2.236) - 3(1.414) + 1 \]
Calculate each term:
- \( 2(2.236) \approx 4.472 \)
- \( 3(1.414) \approx 4.242 \)
Combine the results: \[ 4.472 - 4.242 + 1 \approx 4.472 - 4.242 \approx 0.230 + 1 \approx 1.230 \]
So, numerically, \( 2\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{2} + 1 \approx 1.230 \).
