OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Do you know what consecutive integers are?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Uhh. nope. sorry

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

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

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Alright..

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Doesn't make sense?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

It's just like adding 1 to an internet you alrady have

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Integer

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Okay, that makes sense. so we would add one into 42?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So you need to find what to whole number are between square root 42

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

No it's the square root

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So what's the square root of 42

MsBrains (ms-brains):

42=6.48074069841

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes now an integer is a whole number so what two whole numbers are in between 6.480704...

MsBrains (ms-brains):

80..?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

What is a whole number that is smaller than 4.6

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

6.4

MsBrains (ms-brains):

so the integer is 6.4

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

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

MsBrains (ms-brains):

omg I suck at this. sorry!

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Your trying to find the closest number to 6.4 that is bigger and smaller than that value

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

It's okay

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

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?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

60

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

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

MsBrains (ms-brains):

0.60 or 0.6?

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

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

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Using that, what would 6.4 rounded down be?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

You can do I!!! @Ms-Brains

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

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

MsBrains (ms-brains):

alright, so would it be 6.00?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes good job!!!! You don't need .00 but it is the same number

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Perfect, that's one number (The rounded down). Now just to find the other number. Let's round up this time

MsBrains (ms-brains):

What number are we rounding up this time..?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

We're doing the same process with the 6.4

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

The same number, which is 6.4

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Now we're just going up to the next number

MsBrains (ms-brains):

So would it be 6.0? I don't see how I can round up..

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

It's moreso a theoretical sense, since we are looking for consecutive integers. Consecutive integers for whole numbers is basically like counting

MsBrains (ms-brains):

ohh, so it would be 7.00? because the first was 6.00? o.O

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes!!!!

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

Exactly, making part A.) 6.00 and 7.00

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

I believe Part B was calculated earlier

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Wait, what do I write in part be again..?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

@kayders1997 @FortyTheRapper

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

The square root of 42 but rounded to the tenth

MsBrains (ms-brains):

6.5?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

6.5?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes

umerlodhi (umerlodhi):

mr brains u is right @Ms-Brains

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Thanks so much
