Which of the following is closest to zero ?
A
$${\left( {0.09} \right)^2}$$
B
$$0.09$$
C
$${\left( {1 - 0.9} \right)^2}$$
D
$$1 - {\left( {0.9} \right)^2}$$
Correct Answer: $${\left( {0.09} \right)^2}$$
(a) (0.09)2 = 0.0081(b) 0.09
(c) (1 - 0.9)2 = (0.1)2 = 0.01
(d) 1 - (0.9)2 = 1 - 0.81 = 0.19
Clearly, 0.0081 So, 0.0081 is closest to zero.
