2, √pi, √3 Without using a calculator, order the following expressions from least to greatest.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (lord_box):

Do you know the values of pi and approximately sqrt(3)?

OpenStudy (rayep12):

pi is 3.14 and the square root of three is 1.something

hint: if x < y, then x^2 < y^2

OpenStudy (rayep12):

thx

OpenStudy (lord_box):

Careful with working with negatives, though, for instance, -4 < 1, but 16 > 1

OpenStudy (rayep12):

so it would be √3, √pi and 2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

true, I should clarify if x < y, then x^2 < y^2 where x > 0 and y > 0

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`so it would be √3, √pi and 2?` yes @rayep12

OpenStudy (rayep12):
