OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i order these least to greatest?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just want help, an explanation don't just give me the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mrbaconqwerty Help?

OpenStudy (mrbaconqwerty):

I don't know. sorry :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@calculusfunctions can you help me ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ruu can you explain this to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tinybookworm can you help me ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the only way to do this is to put them in a calculator and find what they exactly are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do that but i get it wrong all the time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i put this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like I'm really confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha can you help me please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think \(-9.34<-\sqrt{86}<0.1<\frac{4}{25}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get that @tinybookworm

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

One of these is irrational and the other three are rational. Write all the rational numerals as improper or proper fractions. Now for the irrational, estimate. \[\sqrt{196}<\sqrt{202}<\sqrt{225}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, \(-\sqrt{86}\approx -9.27\) and \(\frac{4}{25}=0.12\)

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Since only one of the four is positive, obviously that must be the greatest of the four. Try it! No one should be just giving you the answers!! They should teach!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i i understand that, i wasn't counting the 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @calculusfunctions I'm not asking for the answer i want an explanation how to solve on my own

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

I know, I didn't say you were asking for the answers. Rather I was eluding to those who are responding. And I gave you a hint.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so for this one, 59/11=5.36, square root of 30= 5.47, squared -32=5.65 and 5.49=5.49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tinybookworm 3/25=0.12 not 0.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks @calculusfunctions, so is this correct -32squared, 59/11, square root of 30, and 5.49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mromanos96 Oh, sorry. I didn't pay enough attention. @calculusfunctions You are right. I totally agree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tinybookworm did i do that one right that i just posted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mromanos96 Yes. Well done. I think you get it now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks I'm gonna do one more just to double check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

50squared = 7.07, -157/20=-7.85, -7.64=-7.64, and -7.6=-7.6 so in order least to greatest= -157/11,-7.64, -7.6 50squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct @tinybookworm

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

sq rt 50 = 7.07 -7.64 -157/20 = - 7.85 -7.66 least to greatest : - 157/20 , -7.66 , -7.64, sq rt 50 Be careful with negatives...their kinda the opposite of positive numbers in the fact that the bigger the negative number, the least it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agh thank @texaschic101 i'll remember that

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

no problem :)

Ah, I forgot to mention.|dw:1412025364610:dw|
