Question

Please help me with the last 2 questions.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 48 = 6.93     The closest smaller integer is 6.

The square root of - sqrt(62) is -7.874 The closest larger integer = -7

The distance between the two extremes is (6 - - 7) = 13

Second question

- sqrt(12) = -3.46

Closest larger integer = -3

square root (8) = 2.82

The integer smaller the 2.82 is 2

Now to find the midpoint

midpoint = (B + C) / 2

B = - 3

C = 2

midpoint = (-3 + 2)/2

Midpoint = -1/2 or - 0.5

when taking the root of the minus value of the square root to get the larger integer, the key idea is to pick the number closest to 0. Is it the square root or the integer? Most often it is the integer.
