Which two consecutive integers does −v30 lie between?
A)5 and 6
B)6 and 7
C)−5 and −6
D)−6 and −7

√

36

=

6

lies between consecutive odd integers  

5

and  

7

.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The" square root of  

36

is itself an integer, namely  

6

, since  

6

2

=

36

. So it does not lie between consecutive integers.

It does lie between consecutive odd integers  

5

and  

7

.

Note that  

36

has another square root, namely  

−

6

, since  

−

6

satisfies:

(

−

6

)

2

=

36

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
