Square root of 2 minus square root of 18 (√2-√18)

√2 - √18

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 2 and the square root of 18. Essentially, we will calculate √2 - √18.

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 2:
√2 ≈ 1.41421

2. Calculate the square root of 18:
√18 ≈ 4.24264

3. Subtract the square root of 18 from the square root of 2:
1.41421 - 4.24264 = -2.82843

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 18 from the square root of 2 is approximately -2.82843.

√2 - √18 ≈ -2.82843

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

√2 - 3√2
