Square root of 5 minus square root of 85 (√5-√85)

√5 - √85

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 5 and the square root of 85. Essentially, we will calculate √5 - √85.

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 85:
√85 ≈ 9.21954

3. Subtract the square root of 85 from the square root of 5:
2.23607 - 9.21954 = -6.98347

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 85 from the square root of 5 is approximately -6.98347.

√5 - √85 ≈ -6.98347

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