Problem 3
In \(3-38,\) solve each equation for the variable, check, and write the solution set. $$ \sqrt{a}=5 $$
Problem 4
In \(3-41\) , express each product in simplest form. Variables in the radicand with an even index are non-negative. $$ \sqrt{5} \cdot \sqrt{45} $$
Problem 5
In \(3-14,\) determine whether each of the numbers is rational or irrational. $$ 3 \pi $$
Problem 6
