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

√50 - √5

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

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 50:
√50 ≈ 7.07107

2. Calculate the square root of 5:
√5 ≈ 2.23607

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

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

√50 - √5 ≈ 4.835

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

5√2 - √5
