According to the number line, the statement that MUST be true- is (C) C < 15
<u>c) We can see that √C is almost equal to 4, and 4^2 = 16, so most likely, C is bigger than 15, so this is true</u>
<u></u>
<u></u>
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
As you know, in the number line we are looking at the roots of the numbers, and as you know; (√A)^2 = A, so using this, we can analyze each option:
a) A can not be less than zero, because √A is bigger than zero.
b) we can see that √B is smaller than 3, and 3^2 = 9, so B must be smaller than 9, and then, smaller than 10.
<u>c) We can see that √C is almost equal to 4, and 4^2 = 16, so most likely, C is bigger than 15, so this is true</u>
d) we can see that √D is bigger than 4, and using the same reasoning as before, we can see that D is bigger than 16, and 16 is bigger than 15, so D > 15 is false
