Math Problem Statement

Find the square roots then plot the given irrational numbers on the number line.

Find the square roots then plot the given irrational numbers on the number line.

Solution

Let's calculate the square roots of the given numbers and determine approximately where they should be placed on the number lines:

1. 78\sqrt{78}

  • 788.83\sqrt{78} \approx 8.83
  • This will be slightly before 9 on the number line.

2. 34\sqrt{34}

  • 345.83\sqrt{34} \approx 5.83
  • This falls slightly before 6.

3. 75\sqrt{75}

  • 758.66\sqrt{75} \approx 8.66
  • This is also just before 9.

4. 95\sqrt{95}

  • 959.75\sqrt{95} \approx 9.75
  • This will be very close to 10.

5. 8\sqrt{8}

  • 82.83\sqrt{8} \approx 2.83
  • This is placed just before 3.

Now, place these points appropriately on the number lines.

  1. For 78\sqrt{78}, mark around 8.8.
  2. For 34\sqrt{34}, mark around 5.8.
  3. For 75\sqrt{75}, mark around 8.7.
  4. For 95\sqrt{95}, mark around 9.8.
  5. For 8\sqrt{8}, mark around 2.8.

Tip: Always check between which two perfect squares a number lies when estimating square roots. For example, 7878 lies between 6464 and 8181, giving us a rough idea that 78\sqrt{78} will be between 88 and 99.
