A is the answer .
A is 1.04
B is 0.132 ( I think )
C is 0.098 ( I think)
D is 1.042
E is 0.947

(A) 1 + 0.04 = 1.04
1 – 1.04 = – 0.04
(B) (1 – 0.04)2 is it (1 – 0.04)^2 = (0.96)^2 = 0.9216
1 – 0.9216 = + 0.0784
(C) 1– (0.04)½ = 1 – 0.2 = 0.8
1 – 0.8 = – 0.2
(D) 1 + 0.042 = 1.042
1 – 1.042 = – 0.042
(E) 1- 0.043 = 1.043
1 – 1.043 = – 0.043
Difference Between 1 and the options. can be written in the following way.
A) – 0.04 B) + 0.0784 C) – 0.2 D) – 0.042 E) – 0.043
If put these on number line (A), (C), (D), (E) on the left side (– ve) side and (B) on Right side (+ve) side of zero
– 0.2 , – 0.043, – 0.42, – 0.4, 0, + 0.0784 + 1,
So option B is nearer to 1

A, i.e 1.04 is closest to 1. If C were written as (1 - 0.04) ^ 1/2 then that would be closer but as written it will be 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 since sqrt.0.04 is 0.2

A) 1 + 0.04 = 1,04
(B) (1 – 0.04)² = (0,96)² = 0.9216
(C) 1- (0.04)½ = 1 - \/0,04 = 1 - 0,2 = 0.80
(D) 1 + 0.042 = 1,0042
(E) 1- 0.043 = 0,957
The answer is (D).

A is closer to 1 than D and E
C is actually not that close, 0.04^1/2 is 0.2
B I assume it is 0.96^2, which is not close to 1 as much as A
So sum up the answer is A

Is (c) 1-(0.04)^0.5 or 1-(0.04)*1/2? If its the latter, than its C.

When you square a number less than 1, you get a smaller number. So that would rule out B.
A (1.04) is closer than D (1.042) and E (.957)
For C, half of .04 is .02 or (.98). This is your closest value to 1.

C is your answer, because it is only .02 away from 1. The next closest would be A, being .04 away from 1.

Im thinking C. a)1+.04=1.04 b).96 x 2=1.92 C) .04x.5=.02 1-.02=.98 d)1 + .042= 1.042 e) 1-.043= .957 so C, being .98 is closer to 1.
