It can be any number for instance 112 divided by 2= 56
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
3
+
√
8
and
3
−
√
8
:
(
x
−
3
−
√
8
)
(
x
−
3
+
√
8
)
=
(
x
−

)

From this quadratic, we can define a sequence of integers recursively as follows:
⎧
⎪
⎨
⎪
⎩
a
0
=

a
1
=
1
a
n
+
2
=
6
a
n
+
1
−
a
n
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
−
3
=
3363
1189
≈
2.828427
The correct answer is D.
molecules refer to the
smallest particle in a compound or an element, which possesses the
chemical properties of that compound or element. They are also made up
of atoms which are held together by chemical bonds as result of exchange
or sharing of electrons.
The Formula given in option D is an atom not a molecule because it is not sharing any bond with any other atom.
Answer: You have to think and show your work
Step-by-step explanation:
the L.C.M is 2
since it is the highest denominator.
so multiply through by the L.C.M
making x the subject.
dividing through by 3
