Which inequalities are true? Select the three correct answers.

Question

Responses

\/8 < 3
0 > \/4
\/8 < 5
\/8 < \/6
\/6 > 2

Answer 1

To evaluate the inequalities, let's compute the square roots and then compare the values:

1. \(\sqrt{8} \approx 2.83\)
2. \(0 > \sqrt{4} = 2\) → Incorrect because 0 is not greater than 2.
3. \(\sqrt{8} < 5\) → \(2.83 < 5\) → Correct.
4. \(\sqrt{8} < \sqrt{6}\) → \(2.83 < \approx 2.45\) → Incorrect because \(2.83\) is greater than \(2.45\).
5. \(\sqrt{6} > 2\) → \( \approx 2.45 > 2\) → Correct.

Therefore, the three correct inequalities are:

• \(\sqrt{8} < 5\)
• \(\sqrt{6} > 2\)
• The other inequalities (\(/8 < 3\) and \(0 > \sqrt{4}\)) are not true, leaving us with the ones that are valid.

So the correct answers are:

1. \(\sqrt{8} < 5\)
2. \(\sqrt{6} > 2\)

However, since only three options were requested, there should not be three correct selections from the provided set because only two of them are correct based on the evaluations. Thus, check the options given in the context, as it should contain three true statements. If there has been an oversight in sufficient evaluation in my interpretation, the entries should be as quoted all along to determine what is present in the question.

Answer 2

whats the third closest answer

Answer 3

From the original options, we evaluated the inequalities and found two that were correct:

1. \(\sqrt{8} < 5\) (True)
2. \(\sqrt{6} > 2\) (True)

The remaining inequalities were assessed as follows:

• \( \sqrt{8} < 3\) → False (approximately \(2.83 < 3\) is true, but it was stated incorrectly initially)
• \(0 > \sqrt{4}\) → False (because \(0\) is not greater than \(2\))
• \(\sqrt{8} < \sqrt{6}\) → False (approximately \(2.83\) is not less than \(2.45\))

Given that we need a third closest answer, we realize:

1. The inequality \( \sqrt{8} < 3\) is technically false but remains true by a numerical comparison, as \(2.83\) is indeed less than \(3\).

Thus, the third assertion that could be considered closest would be \( \sqrt{8} < 3\).

In summary, the three correct answers, including the closest one that can be treated as true based on the square root values, can be:

1. \(\sqrt{8} < 5\) (True)
2. \(\sqrt{6} > 2\) (True)
3. \(\sqrt{8} < 3\) (True compared to direct numerical values. It should also be acknowledged that it's more than clear it has reached given values promptly.)

To summarize again, the three correct or closest answers are effectively:

• \(\sqrt{8} < 5\)
• \(\sqrt{6} > 2\)
• \(\sqrt{8} < 3\)
