-√(x² - y²)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number = x

second number = y

The squares of the two numbers = x², y²

the difference between the squares of two numbers = x² - y²

The negative square root of a number is one of the root of a perfect square. But it is the one with the negative sign.

√4 = + or - 2

The negative square root of 4 = -√4 = -2

the negative square rootof the difference between the squares of two numbers:

-√(x² - y²)
