Square root of 2 minus square root of 48 (√2-√48)

√2 - √48

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 2 and the square root of 48. Essentially, we will calculate √2 - √48.

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 48:
√48 ≈ 6.92820

3. Subtract the square root of 48 from the square root of 2:
1.41421 - 6.92820 = -5.51399

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 48 from the square root of 2 is approximately -5.51399.

√2 - √48 ≈ -5.51399

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

√2 - 4√3
