Question

Which values are solutions to the inequality below? Check all that apply

sqrt(x) < 13
A. 26
b. 251
C. 28561
d.170
e. 1
F. 15

Answer 1

A, E, F

Explanation:

With this question, it's mostly just trial and error.

`√(26)`<13 can be converted to 5.09901951<13, which is true.

`√(251)`<13 can be converted to 15.8429795<13, which is false.

`√(28561)`<13 can be converted to 169<13, which is false.

`√(170)`<13 can be converted to 13.0384048<13, which is false.

`√(1)`<13 can be converted to 1<13, which is true.

`√(15)`<13 can be converted to 3.87298335<13, which is true.

Therefore, A, E and F are true.

**This question involves using inequalities and converting surds to numbers/decimals, which you may want to practice. I'm always happy to help!
