Question

√17 ia a number between

a 1 and 2

b 2 and 3

c 3 and 4

d 4 and 5

e 5 and 6

Answer 1

√16 < √17 < √25

4 < √17 < 5

Answer 2

Just square each number and see if 17 is between them. I'll do a) and b):

a) 1² = 1, 2² = 4. No, 17 is not between 1 and 4, so √17 is not between 1 and 2

b) 2² = 4, 3² = 9. No 17 is not between 4 and 9, so √17 is not between 2 and 3

You try c) , d) and e).
