Square root of 5 minus square root of 50 (√5-√50)

√5 - √50

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 5 and the square root of 50. Essentially, we will calculate √5 - √50.

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 50:
√50 ≈ 7.07107

3. Subtract the square root of 50 from the square root of 5:
2.23607 - 7.07107 = -4.835

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 50 from the square root of 5 is approximately -4.835.

√5 - √50 ≈ -4.835

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

√5 - 5√2
