Square root of 4 minus square root of 120 (√4-√120)

√4 - √120

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 4 and the square root of 120. Essentially, we will calculate √4 - √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 4:
√4 = 2

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

3. Subtract the square root of 120 from the square root of 4:
2 - 10.95445 = -8.95445

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 120 from the square root of 4 is approximately -8.95445.

√4 - √120 ≈ -8.95445

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

2 - 2√30
