InterAct Math tutorials provide you with online practice problems and guided solutions.

Once you've practiced and reviewed radical expressions, equations, and functions, consider the everyday uses of square roots. Refer back to page 451, the first page of Chapter 6 in your Intermediate Algebra textbook and review the wind chill temperature application.

Here's your chance to explore the World Wide Web and practice your new skills at the same time. What is wind chill and where did this formula originate? Is there going to be a wind chill factor in your local weather forecast today? Web sites about the weather abound; we’ve identified a few to start your information search.

After you've practiced and after you've explored, don't forget about your upcoming Chapter Test. Prepare for your exam by working through our Chapter 6 Review, and then check your answers. These free downloadable files are accessible by selecting the Chapter Review button at the top of this page.

Good luck!
