Square root of 3 minus square root of 16 (√3-√16)

√3 - √16

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 3 and the square root of 16. Essentially, we will calculate √3 - √16.

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 16:
√16 = 4

3. Subtract the square root of 16 from the square root of 3:
1.73205 - 4 = -2.26795

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 16 from the square root of 3 is approximately -2.26795.

√3 - √16 ≈ -2.26795

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

√3 - 4
