The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( 4(\sqrt{192} - \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{48} - \sqrt{75}) \) using the given value of \( \sqrt{3} = 1.732 \), we will break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Simplify \( \sqrt{192} \) We can express \( 192 \) as \( 16 \times 12 \). \[ \sqrt{192} = \sqrt{16 \times 12} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{12} = 4\sqrt{12} \] ### Step 2: Simplify \( \sqrt{48} \) We can express \( 48 \) as \( 16 \times 3 \). \[ \sqrt{48} = \sqrt{16 \times 3} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 3: Simplify \( \sqrt{75} \) We can express \( 75 \) as \( 25 \times 3 \). \[ \sqrt{75} = \sqrt{25 \times 3} = \sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 4: Substitute back into the expression Now we can substitute the simplified square roots back into the original expression: \[ 4(\sqrt{192} - \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{48} - \sqrt{75}) = 4(4\sqrt{12} - \frac{1}{2}(4\sqrt{3}) - 5\sqrt{3}) \] ### Step 5: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses \[ = 4(4\sqrt{12} - 2\sqrt{3} - 5\sqrt{3}) = 4(4\sqrt{12} - 7\sqrt{3}) \] ### Step 6: Calculate \( 4\sqrt{12} \) We can express \( \sqrt{12} \) as \( 2\sqrt{3} \): \[ 4\sqrt{12} = 4(2\sqrt{3}) = 8\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 7: Substitute back into the expression \[ = 4(8\sqrt{3} - 7\sqrt{3}) = 4(1\sqrt{3}) = 4\sqrt{3} \] ### Step 8: Substitute the value of \( \sqrt{3} \) Now we substitute the value of \( \sqrt{3} = 1.732 \): \[ = 4 \times 1.732 = 6.928 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( 4(\sqrt{192} - \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{48} - \sqrt{75}) \) correct to three decimal places is: \[ \boxed{6.928} \]
