Square root of 8 minus square root of 138 (√8-√138)

√8 - √138

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 8 and the square root of 138. Essentially, we will calculate √8 - √138.

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 8:
√8 ≈ 2.82843

2. Calculate the square root of 138:
√138 ≈ 11.74734

3. Subtract the square root of 138 from the square root of 8:
2.82843 - 11.74734 = -8.91891

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 138 from the square root of 8 is approximately -8.91891.

√8 - √138 ≈ -8.91891

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