((√2)+(√3)+1)((√2)−(√3)−1) = 2−((√3)+1)^2   = −2−2(√3) = −2(1+(√3))  ((√2)+(√3)−1)((√2)−(√3)+1) = 2−((√3)−1)^2   = −2+2(√3) = −2(1−(√3))    Total product :  4(1−3) = −8

via Trigonometry  let ((√2)+(√3)+1)((√2)−(√3)+1)((√2)+(√3)−1)((√2)−(√3)−1)=p  then (((√2)/2)+((√3)/2)+(1/2))(((√2)/2)−((√3)/2)+(1/2))(((√2)/2)+((√3)/2)−(1/2))(((√2)/2)−((√3)/2)−(1/2))=(p/(16))    consider : ((√3)/2)+(1/2)= cos (π/6)+cos (π/3)  = 2cos (π/4)cos (π/(12))=(√2) cos (π/(12))  for the first factor ((√2)/2)(1+2cos (π/(12)))  for the last factor ((√2)/2)(1−2cos (π/(12)))  so the product of these two factors  will be (1/2)(1−4cos^2 (π/(12)))  likewise for difference of the   relevant summands we shall have  (1/2)(1−4sin^2 (π/(12)))   →now  { ((4sin^2 (π/(12)) = 2−(√3))),((4cos^2 (π/(12)) = 2+(√3))) :}  ∴ (1/2)(1−4cos^2 (π/(12)))(1−4sin^2 (π/(12)))=(p/(16))  ∴ (1/4)(−1)((√3)−1)((√3)+1)=(p/(16))  ∴ p = 16×(−(1/2))=−8  [ ((√2)+(√3)+1)_(((√2)/2)(1+2cos (π/(12))))  ((√2)−(√3)+1)_(((√2)/2)(1−2cos (π/(12))))  ((√2)+(√3)−1)_(((√2)/2)(1+2sin (π/(12))))  ((√2)−(√3)−1)_(((√2)/2)(1−2sin (π/(12))))  ]
