Square root of 1 minus square root of 20 (√1-√20)

√1 - √20

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 1 and the square root of 20. Essentially, we will calculate √1 - √20.

First, we need to find the square root of each number individually. Then we will subtract one from the other. Below is the step-by-step calculation:

1. Calculate the square root of 1:
√1 = 1

2. Calculate the square root of 20:
√20 ≈ 4.47214

3. Subtract the square root of 20 from the square root of 1:
1 - 4.47214 = -3.47214

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 20 from the square root of 1 is approximately -3.47214.

√1 - √20 ≈ -3.47214

To make things even more convenient, we have also expressed the result in its simplest radical form:

1 - 2√5
