Square root of 3 minus square root of 120 (√3-√120)

√3 - √120

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 3 and the square root of 120. Essentially, we will calculate √3 - √120.

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 3:
√3 ≈ 1.73205

2. Calculate the square root of 120:
√120 ≈ 10.95445

3. Subtract the square root of 120 from the square root of 3:
1.73205 - 10.95445 = -9.2224

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 120 from the square root of 3 is approximately -9.2224.

√3 - √120 ≈ -9.2224

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

√3 - 2√30
