If c(A=-8.375c), c(B=-csqrt{70}c), and c(C=-cfrac{67}{8}c), which two points represent the same value?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A and C
c(-\frac{67}{8}=-8.375c), so A and C represent the same value. In contrast, c(-\sqrt{70}c) is approximately c(-8.367c), so it is not equal to c(-8.375c). Exam tip: convert the fraction to a decimal, or square the decimal to compare it with the radicand.
