Square root of 9 minus square root of 40 (√9-√40)

√9 - √40

Here we will walk you through the process of calculating the difference between the square root of 9 and the square root of 40. Essentially, we will calculate √9 - √40.

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 40:
√40 ≈ 6.32456

3. Subtract the square root of 40 from the square root of 9:
3 - 6.32456 = -3.32456

Therefore, the result of subtracting the square root of 40 from the square root of 9 is approximately -3.32456.

√9 - √40 ≈ -3.32456

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

3 - 2√10
