What two numbers are represented by each of the following?
-6+/- sqrt 6
-6 plus or minus square root 6
not sure how to type the question.
I think the answers are
-6 + sqrt 6
-6 - sqrt 6
I'm just not sure what the question is actually asking for. Could someone please help me. Thanks
The question is asking for the two numbers that are represented by the expression -6 plus or minus square root of 6, also written as -6+/-sqrt(6) or -6 +/- sqrt(6).
To find the two numbers, we have to evaluate the expression for both the plus and minus cases.
For the plus case:
-6 + sqrt(6) represents the sum of -6 and the square root of 6.
For the minus case:
-6 - sqrt(6) represents the difference of -6 and the square root of 6.
So, the two numbers represented by -6+/-sqrt(6) are:
1. -6 + sqrt(6)
2. -6 - sqrt(6)
In other words, -6 plus or minus square root of 6 represents two distinct numbers.
