Square root of 5 minus square root of 80 (√5-√80)

√5 - √80

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 5 and the square root of 80. Essentially, we will calculate √5 - √80.

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 80:
√80 ≈ 8.94427

3. Subtract the square root of 80 from the square root of 5:
2.23607 - 8.94427 = -6.7082

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 80 from the square root of 5 is approximately -6.7082.

√5 - √80 ≈ -6.7082

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

√5 - 4√5
