Square root of 5 minus square root of 88 (√5-√88)

√5 - √88

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 5 and the square root of 88. Essentially, we will calculate √5 - √88.

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 88:
√88 ≈ 9.38083

3. Subtract the square root of 88 from the square root of 5:
2.23607 - 9.38083 = -7.14476

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 88 from the square root of 5 is approximately -7.14476.

√5 - √88 ≈ -7.14476

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

√5 - 2√22
