Answer:

Answer: √3 = 1.732

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Jacob tries to estimate the square root of 75 and makes a calculation error. The following work was done by Jacob:

                   √75 = 3√25 = 3*5= 15

- The error was made by Jacob when he pulled out the constant " 3 " from under the root and missed to apply the property of square root on " 3 " itself.

- The correct version would be:

                  √75 = √3*√25 = √3*5

Answer: 5√3

- Now we will estimate the square root of 3 without using a calculator:

- We will first two per squares above and below " 3 " .

                 [ √4 = 2  ,    √1 = 1 ]

- From above we know that the square root lies within the range of  [ 1 , 2 ].

- We also know that " √3 " would is closer to "√4 ". Hence, would be closer to 2 as compared to 1.

- We will take a guess of " 1.75 ", and square all guesses:

Guess 1:      1.75^2   = 3.0625

- The number is higher than "3" but very close. Guess a number lower than last one but closer to 1.75:

Guess 2:      1.73^2   = 2.9929

- The number is lower than "3" but very close. Guess a number higher than last one but closer to 1.73:

Guess 3:      1.735^2 = 3.010225

- The number is higher than "3" but very close. Guess a number lower than last one but closer to 1.735:

Guess 4:      1.7325^2 = 3.00155625

- The number is higher than "3" but very close. Guess a number lower than last one but closer to 1.7325:

Guess 4:      1.7323^2 = 3.00086329   ... Stop here

- Rounding the number to nearest thousandths we need to look at the 4th decimal place value of " 1.7323 ". The 4th decimal place has to be lower than 3 to get an exact √3.

- Hence, the answer to nearest thousandth would have all the 4th decimal places an onwards truncated. Therefore,

Answer:

a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Square root of 75 (√75) is regarded as a surd function because the value inside the square root sign is not a perfect square. In that case the given value will be splitted into the product of a largest perfect square and a prime number as shown:

√75 = √3×25

√75 = √3×√25

√75 = √3 × 5

√75 = 5√3

a) Based on the above calculation, it can be inferred that his reasoning is incorrect. The value of 3 was supposed to be inside a square root not a whole number i.e √3 × √25

b) Since √75 = 5√3

√75 = 5 × 1.7321

√75 = 8.6605

√75 = 8.661 {to nearest thousand}
