SQRT of 2 - SQRT of 8
ANSWER:
SQRT of 2 - SQRT of 8 = (SQRT of 2) - SQRT of ( 2 * 4 ), 8 can be written as 4*2
= (SQRT of 2) - (SQRT of 2 * SQRT of 4)
= (SQRT of 2) - 2 * (SQRT of 2) becoz square root of 4 is 2
= (SQRT of 2)( 1 - 2 ), here SQRT of 2 is common in both terms so take the common term outside.
= (SQRT of 2)(-1)
= -(SQRT of 2)
Hope you understood.
