The correct Answer is:
To find the square root of \( \sqrt{18} - \sqrt{16} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the square roots We start with the expression: \[ \sqrt{18} - \sqrt{16} \] We know that: \[ \sqrt{16} = 4 \] Now, we simplify \( \sqrt{18} \): \[ \sqrt{18} = \sqrt{9 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{9} \cdot \sqrt{2} = 3\sqrt{2} \] So, we can rewrite the expression as: \[ 3\sqrt{2} - 4 \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the expression Now we have: \[ \sqrt{18} - \sqrt{16} = 3\sqrt{2} - 4 \] We will denote this entire expression as \( n \): \[ n = 3\sqrt{2} - 4 \] ### Step 3: Factor out the common term Next, we can factor out \( \sqrt{2} \) from the expression: \[ n = \sqrt{2}(3 - 2\sqrt{2}) \] ### Step 4: Find the square root Now we need to find the square root of \( n \): \[ \sqrt{n} = \sqrt{\sqrt{2}(3 - 2\sqrt{2})} \] This can be expressed as: \[ \sqrt{n} = \sqrt{2}^{1/2} \cdot \sqrt{3 - 2\sqrt{2}} \] Since \( \sqrt{2}^{1/2} = 2^{1/4} \), we have: \[ \sqrt{n} = 2^{1/4} \cdot \sqrt{3 - 2\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 5: Simplify \( \sqrt{3 - 2\sqrt{2}} \) To simplify \( \sqrt{3 - 2\sqrt{2}} \), we can use the identity \( a - b = (a - b)^2 \): \[ 3 - 2\sqrt{2} = (\sqrt{2} - 1)^2 \] Thus: \[ \sqrt{3 - 2\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2} - 1)^2} = \sqrt{2} - 1 \] ### Final Answer Now substituting back, we get: \[ \sqrt{n} = 2^{1/4} \cdot (\sqrt{2} - 1) \] ### Summary The square root of \( \sqrt{18} - \sqrt{16} \) is: \[ \sqrt{n} = 2^{1/4}(\sqrt{2} - 1) \]
