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): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* 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: - Regarding the square root of a negative number, there is theoretically no such thing. However with the use of imaginary numbers (or complex numbers, for what it’s worth) one can find the square root of a negative number. x^ 2 = -9, x may be 3i or -3i. - Regarding the square of a negative number, whenever you multiply two negative numbers, one gets a positive, not a negative number. 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: - 12. Each drawer has a maximum capacity of 18 compartments, so 12 would be needed to hold 204 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?
