This advice is based upon your knowing the first ten or so perfect squares: {1, 4, 9, 16, ... } and their square roots. For example, the sqrt of 16 is 4.
I'd take the given number and determine where it stands among this list of perfect squares. For example, 20 would be between perfect squares 16 and 25.
We could surmise that the sqrt of 20 would be betwen the square roots of 16 and 25, which are, of course, 4 and 5.
We could do a bit better at estimating the sqrt of that number by interpolation. Note that sqrt(20) is closer to 4 than to 5. We could then surmise that the sqrt of 20 is a bit closer to 4 than to 5, e. g., sqrt(20) is approximately 4.4.
Using a calculator as a check: sqrt(20)= 4.47. Thus, our estimate was a bit on the low side: 4.4 instead of 4.47.
Answer:
The correct answer is (D) 6.214545
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the correct answer, note that the millionth place includes 6 numbers after the decimal place. D is the only answer with that many.
Answer:
3√(5) - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 - 2ab +b^2 = (a-b)^2
√(61-24√5)
= √((4-3√5)^2)
=3√(5) - 4
