Math Problem Statement

Determine which two values the following expression is between 3√7

Solution

We are tasked with finding between which two integer values the expression 373\sqrt{7} lies. To solve this, we first approximate the value of 7\sqrt{7}.

The square root of 7 is approximately: 72.64575\sqrt{7} \approx 2.64575

Now, multiply this by 3: 373×2.64575=7.937253\sqrt{7} \approx 3 \times 2.64575 = 7.93725

Thus, 373\sqrt{7} is approximately 7.93725, which means the value lies between 7 and 8.

Conclusion:

The expression 373\sqrt{7} is between the values 7 and 8.
