Question

evaluate √24-x when x=6  Write the answer as a decimal. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answer 1

If the x is also supposed to be included in the radical, then you should be
`√(18)` which simplifies to
`3√(2)` or approximately 4.24

If the x is on the outside,
`√(24)` simplifies to
`2√(6)`. Now do
`2 √(6) - 6` in a calculator to get approximately - 1.10
