Problem
Solution
Identify the number under the radical, which is
46 Check for perfect square factors by listing the factors of
46 1 , 2, 23, 46.N*o*n*e*o*ƒ*t*h*e*s(e)*ƒ*a*c*t*o*r*s,o*t*h*e*r*t*h*a*n $, are perfect squares.Determine the nature of the root since
46 is not a perfect square and has no perfect square factors. The expression√(,46) is already in its simplest radical form.Estimate the decimal value by finding the nearest perfect squares. Since
6=36 and7=49 the value of√(,46) lies between6 and7 Calculate the approximate value using a calculator for a more precise decimal representation.
