Square root of 4 minus square root of 60 (√4-√60)

√4 - √60

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 4 and the square root of 60. Essentially, we will calculate √4 - √60.

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 60:
√60 ≈ 7.74597

3. Subtract the square root of 60 from the square root of 4:
2 - 7.74597 = -5.74597

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 60 from the square root of 4 is approximately -5.74597.

√4 - √60 ≈ -5.74597

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

2 - 2√15
