√600 and ∛56 and show work

√600 is around 24.5 while ∛56 is around 3.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Method: TRIAL AND ERROR

For √600, we can follow trial and error method:

30^2 is 900, so too big

20^2 is 400, so too small

25^2 is 625, too big

24^2 is 576, too small

Considering that 600 is between 24^2 and 25^2, we can try in between:

24.5^2 is 600.25, which is very close, therefore 24.5 is the answer

For ∛56, we can also follow trial and error method:

5^3 is 125

4^3 is 64

3^3 is 27

Considering that 56 is somewhere between 3^3 and 4^3, and that it's much more closer to 4^3, we can try 3.6^3, which is: 46.656;

3.7^3 is 50.6

3.8^3 is 54.8

3.9^3 is 59

3.85^3 is 57

3.84^3 is 56.6 (still larger)

3.83^3 is 56.1

So the answer is 3.83

But the method above works when using calculator, best for a calculator exam. If calculator is not allowed, you can find the difference between the two possible answers (e.g: 27 and 64 (3^3 and 4^3) following the above, to find out ∛56.) Of course, 56 is much nearer to 4^3, so we can assume that the answer is around 3.8.

Hope this helped. :)
