Question

Subtract: 2 square root -8 -3 square root -18

Answer 1

`- 5 √( - 2)`

Explanation:

We can write sq root (- 18) as = sq root [3 x 3 x (-2)]

Similarly sq root ( - 8) = sq root [2 x 2 x (-2)]

2 sq root [2 x 2 x (-2)] - 3 sq root [3 x 3 x(-2)]

We simply,

2 x2 sq root (-2) - 3 x 3 sq root (-3)

4 sq root (-2) - 9 sq root (-2)

Bcoz sq root (-2) is common in bot term so

So

Sq root (-2) (4-9)

-5 sq root (-2) answer
