If r = 0.345, s = (0.345)^2, and t = sqrt 0.345 , which of the following is the correct ordering of r, s, and t ?
A. r < s < t
B. r < t < s
C. s < t < r
D. s < r < t
E. t < r < s
Hi Experts,
please help
I am confused on the square root of 0.345. I have checked all the links and read the O.G explanation. It says if the exponent is lower, the value is greater.
For instance, r = 1/4, s = (1/4)^2, and t = sqrt 1/4
In this case r > s and t > r > s
but if r = .4, s = (.4)^2, and t = sqrt 0.4 then t = 0.2
In this case t < r because 0.2 < 0.4. So, s < t < r (0.16 < 0.2 < 0.4)
I am confused please help. I don't know what i am missing. I even tried one more example
sqrt 0.81 = 0.9. Now 0.9 > 0.81. This is different.
Looking forward to you reply.
Thanks
Sachin
