Answer: The cost per pound for bananas is $1.5 per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
To get this answer you will divide the cost by the amount of bananas you have.
You might need to consult your teacher or text to learn the details of the "ratio of perfect squares method" of determining an approximate square root. No reference to such a method can be found in an Internet search except in conjunction with problems similar to this one.
A method that can be used to find a first approximation of a square root is linear interpolation between the roots of adjacent perfect squares. For this, ...
• find the perfect squares of the consecutive integers that lie on either side of the root of interest
• form the ratio of difference between the number and the smaller square and the difference between the squares
• add this ratio to the smaller of the two integers to get an approximation of the root.
In this case, the square root of 96 lies between 9² = 81 and 10² = 100. The ratio of interest is (96 -81)/(100 -81) = 15/19. The approximate square root of 96 is then ...
√96 ≈ 9 + 15/19 ≈ 9.8
_____
If a = floor(√n), then this approximation to the root can be written as
√n ≈ a + (n -a²)/(2a+1)
If we define b = n - a², this looks like √n ≈ a + b/(2a+1). The approximation can be refined by replacing the 1 in the denominator with (b/(2a+1)). Repeately doing this replacement results in a "continued fraction" that converges to √n as more layers are added.
D = Right endpoint minus left endpoint = 5 - (-8) = 13
Answer:
The answer is B :) hope you have a great day
<u>Answer:</u>
BC = 18 cm
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
As we can see from the diagram:
AB + BC + CD = AD
⇒ 10 cm + BC + 11 cm = 39 cm
⇒ BC + 21 cm = 39 cm
⇒ BC = 39 cm - 21 cm
⇒ BC = 18 cm
