Square root of 4 minus square root of 72 (√4-√72)

√4 - √72

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 4 and the square root of 72. Essentially, we will calculate √4 - √72.

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 72:
√72 ≈ 8.48528

3. Subtract the square root of 72 from the square root of 4:
2 - 8.48528 = -6.48528

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 72 from the square root of 4 is approximately -6.48528.

√4 - √72 ≈ -6.48528

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

2 - 6√2
