011. `Query 11

*********************************************

Question: `qQuery (previously 1.4.24) 1 raised to to any power is what?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

1 raised to any power would always be 1 because one times anything is always 1

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** The meaning is 1^2, 1^3, 1^4. We take a power of the base.

The result is always 1. **

Question: `qQuery (previously 1.4.30) What can you say about the square root of a negative number?

What can you say about the square of a negative number?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

• If you type a square root of a negative number into the calculator it comes back with errr, therefore a square root of a negative number is not a real number

• The square of a negative number will always be positive because a negative times a negative is always positive

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** The square root of a negative will often give you an error (what can you square to get a negative, since any number squared is positive?), but on certain calculators it gives a complex number (actually two complex numbers). These are not real numbers; for the purposes of this course there is no real square root of a negative number.

There is no real number that can be squared to give a negative. If you square a negative number you get a negative times a negative, which is positive. If you square a positive number you get a positive number. So a negative number has no real square root. **

Question: `qQuery 1.4.38 (previously 1.4.42) drawer has 18 compartments; how many drawers to hold 204 tapes?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

You will have 6 tapes not being held in the compartments because 204/18= 11

11 * 18 = 198

204 - 198= 6

confidence rating #$&*: 3

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

`a** 204 / 18 = 11 with remainder 6. If we had 11 drawers they would hold all but 6 of the tapes.

The leftover tapes also have to go into a drawer, so we need a 12th drawer. **
