1. Problem Description

The problem asks to combine the expression 58+505\sqrt{8} + \sqrt{50} and simplify it.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the radicals individually.
8=42=42=22\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}
50=252=252=52\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{25} \cdot \sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}
Now we substitute these simplified radicals back into the original expression:
58+50=5(22)+525\sqrt{8} + \sqrt{50} = 5(2\sqrt{2}) + 5\sqrt{2}
=102+52 = 10\sqrt{2} + 5\sqrt{2}
Since the terms have the same radical 2\sqrt{2}, we can combine them:
102+52=(10+5)2=15210\sqrt{2} + 5\sqrt{2} = (10+5)\sqrt{2} = 15\sqrt{2}

3. Final Answer

15215\sqrt{2}
