Question: 5

5. The value of 2000.25 is closest to:

  • A. 4
  • B. 14
  • C. 50
  • D. 800

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The fourth root of a number, or a number raised to the one-quarter power, is the square root of the square root of that number:

The square root of 200 should be a bit larger than 14 (142 = 196); therefore, the fourth root of 200 should be a bit less than 4.
