Question

Estimate square root of 14 to the nearest integer

Answer 1

√14 = 3.74165739..

Answer 2

Nearest integer means that you are rounding to the first position to the left of the decimal. Do you know about rounding?

Answer 3

I didnt want to everything

Answer 4

i didn't want to do*

Answer 5

You are looking at the "3". Look to the right for the next digit, regardless of any decimal point. If it is 5 or more, you make the 3 a 4. Otherwise you just keep the 3 a 3.

Answer 6

Once you decide on 3 or 4, you drop everything (decimal point and numbers) to the right.

Answer 7

i think he/she knows how to round if he/she is doing square roots and shiz

Answer 8

This problem does not require rounding at all.

Answer 9

whatevar nearest integer

Answer 10

Not necessarily. The learning points here are 1) what is an integer, 2) how to round with decimal points in the question. Square root is incidental to the problem.

Answer 11

√9 < √14 < √16
3 < √14 < 4
14 is closer to 16 than it is to 9, so a good guess would be the nearest integer is 4.

Answer 12

No decimals necessary.

Answer 13

Do You HAVE To Do EVERYTHING For Them? Read The Code Of Conduct Bro I Wanted Her/him To Do All That Crap Themselves Or They Wouldn't Learn Anything.

Answer 14

@tcarroll010 The concept of square-root is not incidental. Knowing squares and square-roots of perfect squares is necessary to do this problem mentally with no calculator or paper/pencil methods (which is what estimation is all about).

Answer 15

You Told Them The Answer I Doubt They're Looking At Your Post Anymore They Come Here For The Answer. We're Not Supposed To TELL Them The Answer.

Answer 16

@Guy you already provided a decimal approximation, tcarroll already explained how to round that approximation to the nearest integer. I'm pretty sure I didn't provide any new information other than an alternate method at arrive at the same answer *you* already gave.

Answer 17

Take your troll face and point it at someone else please; I'm not interested.
