Exercise 22 Page 378

Think of a number that when raised to the second power results in 4.84.

- 2.2 and 2.2

Practice makes perfect
We want to find both square roots of 4.84. ± sqrt(4.84)We need to think of a number that when raised to the second power results in 4.84. This number is 2.2.
(2.2)^2
4.84 âś“
With this information, we can say that the square roots of 4.84 are ±2.2, which can be also written as - 2.2 and 2.2. ± sqrt(4.84) = ± 2.2
