Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Subtract the following expression: \$\sqrt(128) - \sqrt(18) - \sqrt(32)\$.

2

Step

The given expression is

\$\sqrt(128) - \sqrt(18) - \sqrt(32)\$

3

Step

Simplify first radical separately:

\$sqrt(128) = \sqrt(64 times 2) = 8\sqrt(2)\$

4

Step

Simplify second radical separately:

\$\sqrt(18) = \sqrt(9 times 2) = 3 \sqrt(2)\$

5

Step

Simplify third radical separately:

\$\sqrt(32) = \sqrt(16 times 2) = 4\sqrt(2)\$

6

Step

Substitute the simplified values into the expression:

\$8\sqrt(2) - 3\sqrt(2) - 4\sqrt(2)\$

7

Step

Subtraction combine like terms and then simplify

\$(8 - 3 - 4) \sqrt(2)\$

\$ 1\sqrt(2) = \sqrt(2)\$

8

Step

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression \$\sqrt(128) - \sqrt(18) - \sqrt(32)\$ after subtraction is \$\sqrt(2)\$.

9

Choice.A

Option A does not align with the simplified expression derived from accurate calculations

\$ -2\sqrt(3)\$

10

Choice.B

Option B incorrectly suggests a negative sign before the square root symbol, resulting in \$\sqrt(2)\$ instead of \$- \sqrt(2)\$

\$ - \sqrt(2)\$

11

Choice.C

It is wrong because it represents a different value that does not correspond to the simplified expression

\$ 2\sqrt(3)\$

12

Choice.D

After simplifying the expression step by step, we find the result as \$\sqrt(2)\$ so, it is correct

\$ \sqrt(2)\$

Answer

Option

D
