    Instead of looking for (a-b)^2 = 3 - 2 sqrt(2), I looked for (a + b sqrt(2))^2 = (3 - 2 sqrt(2)), with a, b rational numbers. The advantage here is that I don't have to pull a and b out of thin air: I can solve for them.
    In this case we have a^2 + 2 b^2 = 3 and 2ab = -2. There are two solutions here: a = -1, b = 1, and a = 1, b = -1. The latter choice is the positive result implied by the radical. So the answer is -1 + sqrt(2).
    How did I know to look for an answer in this form? From more advanced math, I know that Q[sqrt(2)] is a field, which means specifically for us that it's closed under multiplication. So it's a good place to start when looking for roots of a polynomial.

      You can also use the fact that for a = sqrt(3 - sqrt(8)) and b = sqrt(3 + sqrt(8)) we find that ab = 1 and a + b = sqrt(8), hence x^2 - sqrt(8)x + 1 = 0 have - 1 + sqrt(2) and 1 + sqrt(2) for solution.

See my post above. Gotta have that coefficient of 2 in front of the radical sign in the second term. √(15 + √200)) √200 = √(4 x 50) = 2√50. Bingo! Got the coefficient of 2. Now 10 + 5 = 15 and 10 x 5 = 50. Throw radical signs over 10 and 5 for your answer: √10 + √5. Note that we keep the sign in the original problem. Hope this helps.

      A japanese guy once told me something that changed my life. He said that the common people's mind makes a very assertive division between leisure and studies. The secret is to look at exercises like puzzles or games, in such a way that you don't see youself as studing, but having fun instead. That's why nerds never get tired of studies, they can't stop indeed. I know its sounds crazy, but beleive me, it works very well, mainly im mathematics.

    Now √(√9 - √8) = √(3 - 2√2).
    Now suppose √(√3 - 2√2) = a + b√2, where a and b are integers. This maybe not actually have a solution in integers, but if it does, we can find them as follows.
    Let 3 - 2√2 = (a + b√2)²
    = (a² + 2b²) + 2ab√2
    So, 3 = a² + 2b² and -2 = 2ab
    So, (a = 1 and b = -1) or (a = -1 and b = 1).
    However, a + b√2 ≥ 0, as otherwise √(√9 - √8) would be a complex number, so we are forced to conclude that a = -1 and b = 1 is the only possible solution.
    So, √(√9 - √8) = -1 + 1*√2 = √2 - 1.

    Solved by AI
    √9-√8=?
    To evaluate the expression √9 - √8, we need to simplify the square roots.
    √9 = √(3²) = 3 (since 3² = 9)
    √8 = √(2² × 2) = 2√2 (since 2² × 2 = 8)
    Now, subtract:
    3 - 2√2
    To simplify further, we can approximate 2√2 as 2.83.
    3 - 2.83 = 0.17
    So, √9 - √8 ≈ 0.17.

      I think it is more about having experience and mastery with those tools. In many schools we skip to differentials and integrals before having a solid grasp on foundations of math. It's like they think mathematics was an intellectual desert up until newton and Leibniz. If students are educated to maximize their mathematical tools before learning new ones, they'd know how to solve these problems. (The Israeli school system is worse than the american, we don't even learn completing the square, so we'd have no intuition for solving this kind of problem)

Arthur has two red stones initially placed in the bottom left and top right corner squares, while Renate has two black stones initially placed in the top left and bottom right corner squares. On their turn, a player selects one of their two stones and moves it to a horizontally or vertically adjacent free square. Arthur and Renate take turns, with Arthur starting. Arthur wins if, after a finite number of moves, his two stones are in horizontally or vertically adjacent squares. Can Renate prevent this by making clever moves?

    √( √9 - √8)
    √( 3 - √8)
    √( 3 - 2×1.41)
    √( 3 - 2.82)
    √( .18 ) => near to √16
    So as my own formula 😂 ( work only when number are near to root )
    Information √.16=> .4
    √.18
    .4 + 1/18
    => .4 + .056
    => .456 (it is approx without so much calculations 😅)
    Well the 1/18 , its come from my formula
    Like if someone root value are near to square
    √24 = √25 - (25-24)/( *2* * 25)
    *2* is constant 😊

    √{a ± b√c} (a,b,c non-neg. rat.) can be simplified to √y±√z iff {a² - b².c} = d².
    If this d exists, then take y = (a+d)/2 & z = (a-d)/2. Here a=3, b=2, & c=2.
    So d = √{3² - 2².2} = √{9 - 8} = √1 = 1. So y = {3+1}/2 = 2 & z = {3-1}/2 = 1.
    Hence √{√9 - √8} = √{3 - 2√2} = √y - √z = √2 - √1 = (√2) - 1.

      In everyday life no, but the general take away from problems like this is exercising the notion of manipulating mathematical expressions into different forms to make them simpler (i.e., easier to manage, interpret, etc).
      This particular example isn't that complicated, but the general skill of simplification can come in handy in certain jobs. Like if one were to come up with a certain formula to describe a particular phenomena that's unique to that company, someone else may want to manipulate the form of that formula so to make its terms more explicit.

      @@andrewsies9065 No, there are two roots to the polynomial x^2 - 4 = 0. Only one of those two is the "square root," the positive one.
      "square root" is a well-defined function whose range is the non-negative real numbers. It's not ambiguous about which of the two roots it refers to.

    √(√9 - √8)
    = √(3 - 2√2)
    = √(3 - 2(1.414))
    = √(3 - 2.828)
    = √0.172
    Using square root formula to derive the sq.root of 0.172 = | 0.172 | like this
    We get, 0.414 the answer
    THIS IS HOW I DID IT.
