Answer 3

To determine a more precise approximation for \(\sqrt{7}\), we can calculate the squares of the numbers within the given ranges.

1. **For option A (between 2.6 and 2.7):**
- \(2.6^2 = 6.76\)
- \(2.7^2 = 7.29\)

Since \(6.76 < 7 < 7.29\), this range is valid.

2. **For option B (between 2.7 and 2.8):**
- \(2.7^2 = 7.29\)
- \(2.8^2 = 7.84\)

Since \(7 < 7.29\), this range is not valid.

3. **For option C (between 2.8 and 2.9):**
- \(2.8^2 = 7.84\)
- \(2.9^2 = 8.41\)

Since \(7 < 7.84\), this range is also not valid.

4. **For option D (between 2.4 and 2.5):**
- \(2.4^2 = 5.76\)
- \(2.5^2 = 6.25\)

Since \(7 > 6.25\), this range is not valid.

Based on our calculations, the only valid range for \(\sqrt{7}\) is option A: **between 2.6 and 2.7**.

Thus, the most precise approximation of \(\sqrt{7}\) is:

**A. between 2.6 and 2.7**.

Answer 4

To compare \(-5\pi\) and \(-\sqrt{45}\), we first need to calculate the approximate values of these expressions.

1. **Calculate \(-5\pi\):**
- Using \(\pi \approx 3.14\), we find:
\[
-5\pi \approx -5 \times 3.14 \approx -15.7
\]

2. **Calculate \(-\sqrt{45}\):**
- First find \(\sqrt{45}\):
\[
\sqrt{45} = \sqrt{9 \times 5} = 3\sqrt{5}
\]
- Approximating \(\sqrt{5} \approx 2.24\):
\[
\sqrt{45} \approx 3 \times 2.24 \approx 6.72
\]
- Thus:
\[
-\sqrt{45} \approx -6.72
\]

Now we compare the two results:
- \(-5\pi \approx -15.7\)
- \(-\sqrt{45} \approx -6.72\)

Since \(-15.7\) is less than \(-6.72\), we can conclude that:

\(-5\pi < -\sqrt{45}\).

Therefore, the correct answer to complete the statement is:

**B. <**

Answer 5

To determine which two values \(2 \sqrt{5}\) is between, we first calculate the value of \(\sqrt{5}\).

1. **Calculate \(\sqrt{5}\)**:
- We know that \(\sqrt{5} \approx 2.236\).

2. **Now calculate \(2 \sqrt{5}\)**:
\[
2 \sqrt{5} \approx 2 \times 2.236 = 4.472
\]

Now, let's examine the options provided and see which two values \(4.472\) falls between:

- **A. 4.46 and 4.47**: \(4.46 < 4.472 < 4.47\) (True)
- **B. 4.44 and 4.45**: \(4.44 < 4.472 < 4.45\) (False)
- **C. 4.45 and 4.46**: \(4.45 < 4.472 < 4.46\) (False)
- **D. 4.47 and 4.48**: \(4.47 < 4.472 < 4.48\) (True)

The correct intervals that contain \(2 \sqrt{5} \approx 4.472\) are given by options A and D:

- Option A: 4.46 and 4.47
- Option D: 4.47 and 4.48

Since \(4.472\) is specifically between \(4.46\) and \(4.47\), the more precise interval for \(2 \sqrt{5}\) is:

**A. 4.46 and 4.47.**
