Question

  1. if -√6 is plotted on the number line below, which point best represents the correct location of that point? point a point b point c point d

Explanation:

Step1: Estimate the value of $\sqrt{6}$

We know that $2^2 = 4$ and $3^2=9$. Since $4<6<9$, then $2 < \sqrt{6}<3$.

Step2: Find the range of $-\sqrt{6}$

Multiply the inequality by - 1. When we multiply an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes. So $-3<-\sqrt{6}<-2$.

Answer:

B. point B
