Answer:
√
8
≈
3
Explanation:
Note that:
2
2
=
4
<
8
<
9
=
3
2
Hence the (positive) square root of
8
is somewhere between
2
and
3
. Since
8
is much closer to
9
=
3
2
than
4
=
2
2
, we can deduce that the closest integer to the square root is
3
.
We can use this proximity of the square root of
8
to
3
to derive an efficient method for finding approximations.
Consider a quadratic with zeros

+
√
8
and

√

:
(

−
3
−
√

)
(

√

)
=
(

−

)

From this quadratic, we can define a sequence of integers recursively as follows:
⎧
⎪
⎨
⎪
⎩
a

a
1
=

a
n
+
2
=

a

−

The first few terms are:
0
,
1
,
6
,
35
,
204
,
1189
,
6930
,
...
The ratio between successive terms will tend very quickly towards
3
+
√
8
.
So:
√
8
≈
6930
1189

≈
2.828427
formula is 
where A=final amount
P=principal
r=interest rate in decimal
n=number of times per year it is compounded
t=time in years
we want to find where
A=2P
and P=5745
and r=6.5%=0.065
n=monthly=12
remember that 
also that 
, solving for t
divide both sides by 5745 to simplify things a bit
I'd rather not simplify this because it give us a decimals and those aren't exact, if we combine, we get 12.065/12 for inside parenthases
take ln of both sides
divide both sides by 
using our calculator, t≈10.6927
so rounded, we get 10.7 years
Answer: Store C by far, less money more time.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of large box
96:6
Thus 96/6 = 16
Small box
2*16 = 32
There are 32 candles in the small box.
7 + 3.(2 - 3x) = 67
3 brackets are distributed
7+6-9x = 67
13-9x = 67
-9x = 67
x = 67/-9
