Square root of 40 minus square root of 5 (√40-√5)

√40 - √5

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 40 and the square root of 5. Essentially, we will calculate √40 - √5.

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 40:
√40 ≈ 6.32456

2. Calculate the square root of 5:
√5 ≈ 2.23607

3. Subtract the square root of 5 from the square root of 40:
6.32456 - 2.23607 = 4.08849

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 5 from the square root of 40 is approximately 4.08849.

√40 - √5 ≈ 4.08849

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

2√10 - √5
