Answer:
√600 is around 24.5 while ∛56 is around 3.83
Explanation:
Method: TRIAL AND ERROR
For √600, we can follow trial and error method:
30^2 is 900, so too big
20^2 is 400, so too small
25^2 is 625, too big
24^2 is 576, too small
Considering that 600 is between 24^2 and 25^2, we can try in between:
24.5^2 is 600.25, which is very close, therefore 24.5 is the answer
For ∛56, we can also follow trial and error method:
5^3 is 125
4^3 is 64
3^3 is 27
Considering that 56 is somewhere between 3^3 and 4^3, and that it's much more closer to 4^3, we can try 3.6^3, which is: 46.656;
3.7^3 is 50.6
3.8^3 is 54.8
3.9^3 is 59
3.85^3 is 57
3.84^3 is 56.6 (still larger)
3.83^3 is 56.1
So the answer is 3.83
But the method above works when using calculator, best for a calculator exam. If calculator is not allowed, you can find the difference between the two possible answers (e.g: 27 and 64 (3^3 and 4^3) following the above, to find out ∛56.) Of course, 56 is much nearer to 4^3, so we can assume that the answer is around 3.8.
Hope this helped. :)
