Square root of 5 minus square root of 32 (√5-√32)

√5 - √32

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 5 and the square root of 32. Essentially, we will calculate √5 - √32.

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 5:
√5 ≈ 2.23607

2. Calculate the square root of 32:
√32 ≈ 5.65685

3. Subtract the square root of 32 from the square root of 5:
2.23607 - 5.65685 = -3.42078

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 32 from the square root of 5 is approximately -3.42078.

√5 - √32 ≈ -3.42078

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

√5 - 4√2
