<s>[INST] Find a polynomial with integral coefficients whose zeros include $\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5}$. Find a polynomial with integral coefficients whose zeros include $\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5}$.
I think I can use $-3= (\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5})(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{5})$ and a certain telescopic factorisation. The problem is that I don't know how to continue this problem. Is anyone is able to give me a hint?
 [/INST] You may observe that
$$
(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5})^2=7+2\sqrt{10}
$$ giving
$$\left((\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5})^2-7\right)^2= (2\sqrt{10})^2=40.$$ Thus $\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5}$ is a root of
$$P(X)= (X^2-7)^2-40=X^4-14X^2+9.$$
