I doubt you have displayed the equation correctly....

(1) On the left, is it %281-sqrt%282%29%292 or %281-sqrt%282%29%29%5E2?
(2) On the right, do you really mean 2-2-sqrt%282%29 (which simplifies to -sqrt%282%29), or should it be 2-2%2Asqrt%282%29?

If you are serious about wanting help with your questions, take the time to present the question clearly and correctly.

Note that it is standard to use "^" (shift-6) to denote exponentiation -- e.g., (1-√2)^2 instead of (1-√2)2.
