@3mar
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
do you know what square root is
OpenStudy (jamaljunior):
sort of
OpenStudy (jamaljunior):
like square root of 36 is 6x6 right?
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
what do you think it is

OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
yeah so the square root of 36 is 6
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
do you know what an irrational number is
OpenStudy (jamaljunior):
no
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
It is a number that does not end or repeat
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
So would 1.3333333 be a rational or irrational number?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):
rational because .3 is repeating
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
Right!! So now that you know that, lets take the number 49 from your list.
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
Can you find the square root of that? I'll give you a hint; it is rational.
OpenStudy (jamaljunior):
7x7
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
Right so the square root would just be 7

ok
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
Lets do 64
OpenStudy (jamaljunior):
8
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
Those are the two that are rational. But lets find one of the irrational, just so you understand
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
How about the square root of 10?

idk .-.
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
The first thing that you would want to do is guess the closest whole number you can think would be the square root.
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
So it is between 3 and 4.
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
Because we know that 3*3=9 and 4*4=16 and 10 is between 9 and 16
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
And it is obviously closer to three than four because ten is closer to 9 than 16

Do you understand the reasoning here.
OpenStudy (jamaljunior):
yes
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
Ok good.
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
Now a scientific calculator is very helpful at this point to figure out all of the numbers.

Just type in the number that you want to find the square root of and hit the button with the square root over the x and hit equals
OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
Your answers are A,B,E
OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

OpenStudy (skarlettrose186):
