Subtract 1119−−√−519−−√.(1 point)
The difference is

1 answer

To subtract \( \sqrt{1119} - \sqrt{519} \), we can rewrite this expression without simplifying the roots directly since they are not perfect squares:

\[ \sqrt{1119} - \sqrt{519} \]

If you want a numerical approximation, you can calculate the square roots:

  1. Find \( \sqrt{1119} \): \[ \sqrt{1119} \approx 33.4 \]

  2. Find \( \sqrt{519} \): \[ \sqrt{519} \approx 22.8 \]

Now, subtract these two approximations: \[ 33.4 - 22.8 \approx 10.6 \]

So the final answer to the problem \( \sqrt{1119} - \sqrt{519} \) is approximately \( 10.6 \).

If exact values are required, the expression stays as \( \sqrt{1119} - \sqrt{519} \). Let me know if you need a specific format for the answer!
