Question

State whether true or false in the following:

`sqrt(4) + sqrt(3) = sqrt(7)`

True or False
Advertisements

Solution

This statement is false.

Explanation:

Left-hand side:

`sqrt(4) = 2` and `sqrt(3) ≈ 1.732`

`2 + sqrt(3) ≈ 2 + 1.732 = 3.732`

Right-hand side:

`sqrt(7) ≈ 2.645`

Since 3.732 ≠ 2.645, the statement is clearly not true.
