How Many Integers Meet the Condition {√n - √(23×24)}² < 1?

In summary, a root difference inequality is an inequality that involves the difference of two or more square roots and is used to compare the magnitude of quantities. To solve it, the square roots must be isolated and both sides must be squared, taking into consideration both positive and negative roots. Root difference inequalities follow basic inequality properties and have real-world applications in fields such as physics, economics, and engineering. However, they may not be applicable in situations involving complex or irrational numbers, and squaring both sides may introduce extraneous solutions.

How many integers satisfy {√n-√(23×24)}^2<1


I was able to solved this by trial and error method , but i want to know systematic step-wise solution.

Show us what you did; perhaps your method was as good as anything.

Notice that the square root of 23x24 is approximately the square root of 23 squared. Since asked about only integers, this approximation suffices

1. What is a root difference inequality?

A root difference inequality is an inequality that involves the difference of two or more square roots. It is typically used to compare the magnitude of two quantities.

2. How is a root difference inequality solved?

To solve a root difference inequality, you must isolate the square roots on one side of the inequality and then square both sides to eliminate the square roots. The resulting inequality can then be solved using basic algebraic techniques.

3. What are the key properties of root difference inequalities?

Root difference inequalities follow the basic properties of inequalities, such as the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division properties. However, when taking the square root of both sides, it is important to consider both the positive and negative roots.

4. What are some real-world applications of root difference inequalities?

Root difference inequalities can be applied in various fields, such as physics, economics, and engineering. For example, they can be used to solve problems involving distance, time, and velocity, or to compare the prices of two products.

5. Are there any limitations to using root difference inequalities?

Yes, there are some limitations to using root difference inequalities. They may not be applicable in situations where the quantities involved are complex or irrational numbers. Additionally, care must be taken when squaring both sides, as this may introduce extraneous solutions.
