is this correct? (equation posted in a sec)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{7^2-4+19-4^2}= 6\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me one second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

May I ask how you got 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one second. i think i might have messed up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't see how you could get 6 with this problem, that is why I ask.

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

I didn't got 6 either...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i messed up, ill post my answer in a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I got: 6.928----------------

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

sqrt48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the same as darkprince.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah sqrt 48 is what i got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does your question say you can round to the nearest tenth or whole number? You could either put 7, 6.9, or 6.93

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its what is the value of the expression...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then If I was you, I would put the answer to it's hundredths, which is: 6.93

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{a^2-b+19-4^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the answers are A. -6 B. -7 C. -8 D. 3

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

what are the values of a and b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer was b. -7 (Rounded to whole number)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=7 and B=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they are both positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I was you I would just put B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

Are those really the only choices? Because if it is, the only right answer would be D. 3.. Because radical signs, moreover square root only gives positive answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Either B or D are the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

honestly im not sure. i will just put it as -7 and let you both know after submitting the assignment

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

I want to apologize for pointing it out but it won't make sense if the answer is negative...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pick D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I'm off, I hope you get it correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks!

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

Do you really have to pick one from the choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

oh... I remember when I quarreled with my math teacher because the choices she gave were wrong... I ended up getting bonus points XD.. Anyway, it's your work so good luck!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (darkprince14):

welcome^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):
