I need help denesting a radical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=\sqrt{\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }-\frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ 2 }}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did some with a plus sign but I don't know how to do it with a negative sign D;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where on the equation the signs changes is my problem.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I'll give a hint : \(\large 3 - \sqrt{5} = \dfrac{1}{2} \left[6 - 2\sqrt{5}\right] \\\large = \dfrac{1}{2} \left[1^2 + \sqrt{5}^2 - 2\sqrt{5}\right] \\ \large = \dfrac{1}{2} \left( 1-\sqrt{5}\right)^2 \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{A \frac{ + }{ - }B}=\sqrt{1/2A + 1/2 \sqrt{A^2 - B^2}} \frac{ +}{ - }\sqrt{1/2A -1/2\sqrt{A^2-B^2}}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for \(\large \pm\) , you ma use below latex code : ``` \pm ```

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge a^2-2ab+b^2= (a-b)^2$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to solve it by using the formula I posted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 Please :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am trying to get x=1/2(-1-sqrt(5)) and x=1/2(1-sqrt(5))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my question was suppose to be x= +-
