To simplify the expression √8 – √50, we can break down each square root into simpler terms.
First, let’s simplify √8:
√8 = √(4 * 2) = √4 * √2 = 2√2
Next, let’s simplify √50:
√50 = √(25 * 2) = √25 * √2 = 5√2
Now, we can substitute these back into the original expression:
√8 – √50 = 2√2 – 5√2
Combining the like terms:
(2 – 5)√2 = -3√2
So, the simplified expression is -3√2.
The correct answer is -3√2.
