Square root of 9 minus square root of 17 (√9-√17)

√9 - √17

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 9 and the square root of 17. Essentially, we will calculate √9 - √17.

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 9:
√9 = 3

2. Calculate the square root of 17:
√17 ≈ 4.12311

3. Subtract the square root of 17 from the square root of 9:
3 - 4.12311 = -1.12311

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 17 from the square root of 9 is approximately -1.12311.

√9 - √17 ≈ -1.12311

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

3 - √17
