find

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} &\text{if}\quad -3\leq x\leq 5 ,\quad x\in \mathbb{R} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &\text{find a and b such that } \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &a\leq x^2 \leq b \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (zarkon):

b is not 5

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SOrry, 25, my bad

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i'm thinking of taking root as a first option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the minimum value of x^2 would be 0, which is fine since -3 <=x<=5. And the highest absolute value for -3<=x<=5 is 5, so then you would consider the maximum value of x^2 to be 25. So a = 0, b = 25.

OpenStudy (nuttyliaczar):

I agree with @Concentrationalizing that little trick you had there was subtle but clever ^^

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes

the graph of \(y=x^2\) in the interval \([-3, 5]\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

ok thnx

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

what about this \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} &\text{if}\quad 4\leq x^2\leq 25 ,\quad x\in \mathbb{R} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &\text{find a and b such that } \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ &a\leq x \leq b \end{align}}\)
