Asked by Amanda
                What is the linear approximation of the square root of 8.9? Must be accurate to the fifth decimal place. 
I have tried entering 2.98328 and 2.98328 but that does not appear to be correct. Please help!!

    Did you try 2.98329 -- as the Google calculator showed?
Reiny did it the long way and came up with a number that was close to that.
If the computer doesn't accept the Google answer -- I'd ask the teacher about it.
