You can put this solution on YOUR website! find three rational numbers between - square root 26 and - square root 15. Explain how you found the numbers.
How: -sqrt(26) is to the left of -sqrt(25 = -5
and -sqrt(15) is to the right of -sqrt(16) = -4
-----
-sqrt(26) < ?? < -sqrt(15)
?? could be: -5, -4.9, -4.8, -4.7 etc. all the way up to to -4
