Square root of 2 minus square root of 80 (√2-√80)

√2 - √80

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 2 and the square root of 80. Essentially, we will calculate √2 - √80.

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 80:
√80 ≈ 8.94427

3. Subtract the square root of 80 from the square root of 2:
1.41421 - 8.94427 = -7.53006

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 80 from the square root of 2 is approximately -7.53006.

√2 - √80 ≈ -7.53006

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

√2 - 4√5
