Find a real number such that .
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We need to find a number that is greater than -7.81. The number must also be less than -7
STEP 2
We know that any number that is closer to zero is greater. So, we need to find a number that is closer to zero than -7.81 but farther from zero than -7.
STEP 3
A simple way to find such a number is to take the average of -7.81 and -7. This will give us a number that is exactly in the middle of the two numbers.
STEP 4
Calculate the number.
So, -7.405 is a number that is greater than -7.81 and less than -7.
