Square root of 2 minus square root of 50 (√2-√50)

√2 - √50

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 2 and the square root of 50. Essentially, we will calculate √2 - √50.

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 50:
√50 ≈ 7.07107

3. Subtract the square root of 50 from the square root of 2:
1.41421 - 7.07107 = -5.65686

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 50 from the square root of 2 is approximately -5.65686.

√2 - √50 ≈ -5.65686

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

√2 - 5√2
