.............................................
Given Solution: `a** The meaning is 1^2, 1^3, 1^4. We take a power of the base. The result is always 1. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* 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: You can not have the square root of a negative number because any number, negative or positive, multiplied by itself will be a positive number. The square of a negative number will be a positive number because two of the same negative numbers multiplied by each other will be a positive. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a** The square root of a negative will often give you an error (what can you square to get a negative, since any number squared is positive?), but on certain calculators it gives a complex number (actually two complex numbers). These are not real numbers; for the purposes of this course there is no real square root of a negative number. There is no real number that can be squared to give a negative. If you square a negative number you get a negative times a negative, which is positive. If you square a positive number you get a positive number. So a negative number has no real square root. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `qQuery 1.4.38 (previously 1.4.42) drawer has 18 compartments; how many drawers to hold 204 tapes? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I divided 204 by 18 to see how many drawers I would need, which equaled 11.3. But since you can't have .3 of a drawer I rounded up to 12 to fit the remaining tapes. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
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. ** " end document Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: ********************************************* Question: `qQuery 1.4.38 (previously 1.4.42) drawer has 18 compartments; how many drawers to hold 204 tapes?
