Answer:

11.51

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, a calculator is required to evaluate the irrational sum ...

π + √70

<h3>Calculator result</h3>

The result from a readily-available online calculator is shown in the attachment.

π + √70 ≈ 11.51

<em>Additional comment</em>

You have probably memorized pi to several digits: 3.1416. To obtain the required estimate means you need to approximate √70 to about the same level of precision.

For a number n = a² +b, the square root can be approximated by the continued fraction ...

√n ≈ a +b/(2a +b/(2a +...))

Effectively, the root (r) can be iterated from the recursive formula ...

r' = a +b/(a +r)

For √70, we have 70 = 8² +6 ⇒ a=8, b=6

If the initial approximation of the root is r0≈a=8, then a couple of iterations gives ...

r1 = 8 + 6/(8 +r0) = 8 + 6/(8 +8) = 8 3/8

r2 = 8 + 6/(8 +r1) = 8 +6/(8 +8 3/8) = 8 48/131

This has sufficient accuracy for the purpose. The decimal equivalent of the sum then becomes ...

3.1416 +8.3664 = 11.5080 ≈ 11.51

If y varies directly as x, and y is 48 when x is 6, which expression can be used to find the value of y when x is 2?

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If y varies directly as x they are directly proportional, which means they relate to each other in the same way....

2 : y = 6: 48

what is y if x = 2?

The value of y can be found if you write it a two fracrions

2 : y = 6 : 48

2 / y = 6 / 48

cross multiply the fractions gives

6*y = 48 *2

divide left and right of the = sign by 6 gives the answer:

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

Other method:

multiply left and right of the = sign by y

2 * y/y = y *6 / 48

6y / 48 = 2 * 1

multiply left and right of the = sign by 48

6y * 48/48 = ( 48 *2 )

6y = ( 48 *2 )

divide left and right of the = sign by 6

6/6* y = ( 48 *2 )/6

y = ( 48 *2 ) / 6

(if you solve it you get y = 12 but that was not the question).

Answer:

Angle CDE equals 155 degrees :D

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines

since the left angle is 57, angle BAE is also 57

180-57=123

right angle=90

115+90+123+57=385

540-385=155

thus, angle CDE equals 155 degrees

The mean of the ages of the men that are given will be 22.1.

<h3>How to calculate the mean?</h3>

It should be noted that mean simply means average. The mean of the men will be:

= (27 + 20 + 20 + 19 + 19 + 25 + 24 + 21 + 22 + 24) / 10

= 221/10

= 22.1

Therefore, the mean of the ages of the men that are given will be 22.1.
