1 answer

Let's evaluate each of the inequalities:

  1. \( \sqrt{8} > 3 \)
    \(\sqrt{8} \approx 2.83\), which is not greater than 3.
    False

  2. \( 0 < 4 - \sqrt{4} \)
    \(\sqrt{4} = 2\), so \(4 - \sqrt{4} = 4 - 2 = 2\).
    \(0 < 2\) is True.
    True

  3. \( \sqrt{8} > \sqrt{6} \)
    \(\sqrt{8} \approx 2.83\) and \(\sqrt{6} \approx 2.45\).
    Since \(2.83 > 2.45\), this is True.
    True

  4. \( \sqrt{8} < 5 \)
    \(\sqrt{8} \approx 2.83\), and \(2.83 < 5\) is True.
    True

  5. \( \sqrt{6} < 2 \)
    \(\sqrt{6} \approx 2.45\), which is not less than 2.
    False

The correct inequalities are:

  • \( 0 < 4 - \sqrt{4} \)
  • \( \sqrt{8} > \sqrt{6} \)
  • \( \sqrt{8} < 5 \)

Thus, the three true inequalities are:

  1. \( 0 < 4 - \sqrt{4} \)
  2. \( \sqrt{8} > \sqrt{6} \)
  3. \( \sqrt{8} < 5 \)
