OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused if it has a negative sign in front then it -1*the square root of 6 so wouldnt that make the number negative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just like 42 is positive and (-42) is negative , also sqrt6 is positive and -sqrt6 is negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):
