Do you know what consecutive integers are?
Uhh. nope. sorry
That's okay a consecutive integer is like an integer after another so say you start with n number say n is 2 the next consecutive integer would be n+1 or 3
Alright..
Doesn't make sense?
It's just like adding 1 to an internet you alrady have
Integer
Okay, that makes sense. so we would add one into 42?
So you need to find what to whole number are between square root 42
No it's the square root
So what's the square root of 42
42=6.48074069841
Yes now an integer is a whole number so what two whole numbers are in between 6.480704...
80..?
?
What is a whole number that is smaller than 4.6
6.4
so the integer is 6.4
No an integer is a whole number right now we have an irrational number a whole number is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...,infinity
omg I suck at this. sorry!
Your trying to find the closest number to 6.4 that is bigger and smaller than that value
It's okay
I guess like, if you were to round 6.4 down, what would you get? And if you were to round 6.4 up to the nearest whole number, what would you get?
60
Remember that 6.4 is a decimal, not a whole number. So you would want to round down or up according to what's after the decimal
0.60 or 0.6?
If I was to round .59 to .60, it would be correct because after the decimal is a .59, which is closer to .60 than it is .50 For this one, we have 6.4, and we want to round it to a whole number (A number that isn't a decimal), When we look at the 50.5 for example, the numbers between that are 50 and 51, right? because rounding down is basically getting rid of everything after the decimal point
Using that, what would 6.4 rounded down be?
You can do I!!! @Ms-Brains
When we round up, we again remove everything after the decimal point, but at the same time add 1 to the number before the decimal point
alright, so would it be 6.00?
Yes good job!!!! You don't need .00 but it is the same number
Perfect, that's one number (The rounded down). Now just to find the other number. Let's round up this time
What number are we rounding up this time..?
We're doing the same process with the 6.4
The same number, which is 6.4
Now we're just going up to the next number
So would it be 6.0? I don't see how I can round up..
It's moreso a theoretical sense, since we are looking for consecutive integers. Consecutive integers for whole numbers is basically like counting
ohh, so it would be 7.00? because the first was 6.00? o.O
Yes!!!!
Exactly, making part A.) 6.00 and 7.00
I believe Part B was calculated earlier
Yes
Wait, what do I write in part be again..?
@kayders1997 @FortyTheRapper
The square root of 42 but rounded to the tenth
6.5?
6.5?
Yes
mr brains u is right @Ms-Brains
