To round \(-\sqrt{5}\) to the nearest hundredth, we first need to calculate \(\sqrt{5}\).
The approximate value of \(\sqrt{5}\) is about \(2.236\).
Now, to find \(-\sqrt{5}\):
\[
-\sqrt{5} \approx -2.236
\]
Next, we round \(-2.236\) to the nearest hundredth.
Since the digit in the thousandths place (the third digit after the decimal) is \(6\), which is greater than \(5\), we round up the hundredths place (the second digit after the decimal):
\(-2.236\) rounds to \(-2.24\).
Therefore, the value of \(-\sqrt{5}\) rounded to the nearest hundredth is \(-2.24\).
The approximate value of \(\sqrt{5}\) is about \(2.236\).
Now, to find \(-\sqrt{5}\):
\[

Next, we round \(-2.236\) to the nearest hundredth.
