Exercise 25 Page 15

Consider what the values inside the square root will reduce to.

sqrt(5)

We are given two square roots. sqrt(5),sqrt(7)

Notice that 5 is less than 7. Therefore, sqrt(5) is less than sqrt(7). sqrt(5) < sqrt(7) We can check this result by evaluating these values on a calculator.

We can see that sqrt(5) is less than sqrt(7).
