Question 999327: If you use the Mean Value Theorem with f(x) = √(x), What can you say that the expression: √(256) - √(250) equals?
NOTE: Use your answer and the fact that √(256) = 16 to answer: Is it true or false that √(256) = √(250) < 6/32?
Please explain
Thank you

Hello,
I am about this part of your submitting:

---------------------------------------------------
Is it true or false that √(256) = √(250) < 6/32?
---------------------------------------------------

1.  sqrt%28256%29 is not equal to sqrt%28250%29.

2.  sqrt%28256%29 < 6%2F32     (???????)

Look,  sqrt%28256%29  is greater than  1,  while 6%2F32  is less than  1.

So,  this part of your submission does not make sense.
