\(6-\sqrt{17}=\sqrt{36}-\sqrt{17}\)
Với :
\(\sqrt{36}-\sqrt{17}>\sqrt{31}-\sqrt{17}\)
Mặt khác :
\(\sqrt{31}-\sqrt{17}>\sqrt{31}-\sqrt{19}\)
Nên :
\(6-\sqrt{17}>\sqrt{31}-\sqrt{19}\)
Cách khác:
Ta có: \(\left(\sqrt{31}-\sqrt{19}\right)^2=50-2\sqrt{589}\)
\(\left(6-\sqrt{17}\right)^2=53-12\sqrt{17}=50+3-12\sqrt{17}\)
mà \(-2\sqrt{589}< 3-12\sqrt{17}\)
nên \(\sqrt{31}-\sqrt{19}>6-\sqrt{17}\)
