Which inequalities are true? Select the three correct answers. (3 points)

0 < v4

v8 < 5

v8 > 3

v8 > v6

v6 < 2

1 answer

To evaluate the inequalities involving square roots of numbers, let's analyze each one:

  1. 0 < v4:

    • The square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, 0 < 2 is true.
  2. v8 < 5:

    • The square root of 8 is approximately 2.83. Thus, 2.83 < 5 is true.
  3. v8 > 3:

    • Given that v8 is approximately 2.83, the statement 2.83 > 3 is false.
  4. v8 > v6:

    • The square root of 8 (approximately 2.83) and the square root of 6 (approximately 2.45). Therefore, v8 > v6 is true since 2.83 > 2.45.
  5. v6 < 2:

    • Since v6 is approximately 2.45, the statement 2.45 < 2 is false.

Based on our analysis, the correct inequalities that are true are:

  • 0 < v4
  • v8 < 5
  • v8 > v6

So the three correct answers are:

  1. 0 < v4
  2. v8 < 5
  3. v8 > v6
