OpenStudy (k_lynn):

well square root means that you multiply a number times itself to get that number. for example, the square root of 36 is 6 because 6*6=36. So all you need to do is take all those numbers in your options and multiply them by themselves and see if they give you 225.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so for the first number i would do 14 x 14 ? correct?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

yep. and what does that give you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is 15. because 15 x 15 = 225. Correct?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Correct! Great Job!

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

I gave you a medal for asking.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So thats how i do every problem that says evaluate ?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Ya, pretty much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help with more?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Sure.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Fire 'em at me.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

whoa baby. I can do square roots and stuff, but I don't think I've gone over that. Maybe @confluxepic, or @iGreen can help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhumm xD

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

hopefully, one of them comes to help.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

@Secret-Ninja if you have time, would you be able to help us?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

I can try, just give me minute to read the post.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Sure.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Thanks

I think that the simplest thing to do its turn it into a decimal, solve it, then put the answer decimal that you get back into a fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

81/100 is 0.81 so you solve: \[-\sqrt{0.81}\]

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

When you get your answer, turn it back into a fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i just multiply the choices by there self to see which equals 0.81 correct?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Yes. But to do that, you must also make the choices decimals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is giving me a headache -_-

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Well, doesn't the answer have to be a negative?

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

Can you rule out A and B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

A. 10/9 = 1.1 repeated B. 9/10 = 0.9 C. -9/10 = -0.9 D. -10/9 = 11.1 repeated

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

I doubt that it is A or D...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

B and C both give us 0.81 and both give us a positive 0.81, but we need a negative one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C is negative

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Yes, but a negative and a negative make a positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? So the answer is?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

I would go with C, It would work if only one of the terms was negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Btw, only one question per post. I suggest you repost if you have another question ;]

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

No problem. :)
