What is the square root of 3-2sqrt23−2√2? Precalculus Linear and Quadratic Functions Applications of Quadratic Functions 1 Answer Shwetank Mauria Jan 18, 2017 sqrt(3-2sqrt2)=sqrt2-1√3−2√2=√2−1 Explanation: 3-2sqrt23−2√2 = 2-2sqrt2+12−2√2+1 = (sqrt2)^2-2xxsqrt2xx1+1^2(√2)2−2×√2×1+12 = (sqrt2-1)^2(√2−1)2 Hence sqrt(3-2sqrt2)=sqrt2-1√3−2√2=√2−1 Answer link Related questions What are common mistakes students make with applications of quadratic functions?
