Square root of 86 minus square root of 8 (√86-√8)

√86 - √8

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 86 and the square root of 8. Essentially, we will calculate √86 - √8.

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 86:
√86 ≈ 9.27362

2. Calculate the square root of 8:
√8 ≈ 2.82843

3. Subtract the square root of 8 from the square root of 86:
9.27362 - 2.82843 = 6.44519

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 8 from the square root of 86 is approximately 6.44519.
