Question

hassan used the iterative process to locate \\(\sqrt{0.15}\\) on the number line.

which best describes hassans estimation?

hassan is correct because \\(\sqrt{0.15} \approx 0.4\\).
hassan is correct because the point is on the middle of the number line.
hassan is incorrect because \\(\sqrt{0.15}\\) is less than 0.4.
hassan is incorrect because the point should be located between 0.1 and 0.2.

Explanation:

Calculate the square of the boundary values

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Compare the target value with the squared boundaries

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Evaluate the given options based on the estimation

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Answer:

  • Hassan is correct because \(\sqrt{0.15} \approx 0.4\).
  • Hassan is correct because the point is on the middle of the number line.
  • Hassan is incorrect because \(\sqrt{0.15}\) is less than 0.4. (Correct answer)
  • Hassan is incorrect because the point should be located between 0.1 and 0.2.
