Which two integers is –sqrt 55 between? Choices: (A)–8 and –7 (B)–6 and –5 (C)–7 and –6 (D)–10 and –9

Identify Perfect Squares: Identify the perfect squares around 55. The perfect square just below 55 is 49. The perfect square just above 55 is 64.Calculate Square Roots: Calculate the square roots of 49 and 64. sqrt 49 = 7 sqrt 64 = 8Determine Negative Square Roots: Determine the negative square roots. -sqrt 49 = -7 -sqrt 64 = -8Place Negative Square Roots: Place -sqrt 55 in relation to -7 and -8. Since -8 < -sqrt 55 < -7, -sqrt 55 is between -8 and -7.

Identify Perfect Squares: Identify the perfect squares around $55$ . The perfect square just below $55$ is $49$ . The perfect square just above $55$ is $64$ .
Calculate Square Roots: Calculate the square roots of $49$ and $64$ . $\sqrt{49} = 7$ $\sqrt{64} = 8$
Determine Negative Square Roots: Determine the negative square roots. $\newline$ $-\sqrt{49} = -7$ $\newline$ $-\sqrt{64} = -8$
Place Negative Square Roots: Place $-\sqrt{55}$ in relation to $-7$ and $-8$ . Since -8 < -\sqrt{55} < -7, $-\sqrt{55}$ is between $-8$ and $-7$ .
