How to calculate square root?

Mathematics
1 answer:
OLEGan [10]3 years ago
6 0
To calculate the square root, you can either use the √symbol on a calculator or you can manually find it using Prime Factorization. For non-perfect squares, Prime Factorization is the way to go. 
 
The first two steps work for solving large perfect squares as well.

1. Divide your number into perfect square factors.

2. Take the square roots of your perfect square factors. 

3. If your number doesn't factor perfectly, reduce your answer to simplest terms. 

4. If needed, estimate. In some cases if you have memorized some of the square roots, you can estimate where the number would be. 
ie.  \sqrt{63}       you know that 7^2 =49 and 8^2 = 64,  so you can estimate that the \sqrt{63} would be between 7 and 8 but closer to 8.

5. <span>Alternatively, reduce your number to its lowest common factors as your first step.</span><span> Finding perfect square factors isn't necessary if you can easily determine a number's prime factors (factors that are also prime numbers).
ie.  </span>\sqrt{45}
 =  \sqrt{9*5}
 = \sqrt{3*3*5}
 =   3 \sqrt{5}

Hope this helped!!!

The time between telephone calls to a cable television service call center follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 1.
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

0.52763 is the probability that the time between the next two calls will be 54 seconds or​ less.

0.19285 is the probability that the time between the next two calls will be greater than 118.5 ​seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The time between telephone calls to a cable television service call center follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 1.2 minutes.

The distribution function can be written as:

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x}\\\text{where lambda is the parameter}\\\\\text{Mean} = \mu = \displaystyle\frac{1}{\lambda}\\\\\Rightarrow 1.2 = \frac{1}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda = 0.84 \\f(x) = 0.84 e^{0.84 x}

The probability for exponential distribution is given as:

P( x \leq a) = 1 - e^{\frac{-a}{\mu}}\\\\P(a \leq x \leq b) = e^{\frac{-a}{\mu} -\frac{-b}{\mu}}

a) P( time between the next two calls will be 54 seconds or​ less)

P( x \leq 0.9)\\= 1 - e^{\frac{\frac{-54}{60}}{1.2}} = 0.52763

0.52763 is the probability that the time between the next two calls will be 54 seconds or​ less.

b) P(time between the next two calls will be greater than 118.5 ​seconds)

p( x > \frac{118.5}{60}) = P(x > 1.975)\\\\ = 1 - P(x \leq 1.975) \\\\= 1 -1+ e^{\frac{-1.975}{1.2}}\\\\= 0.19285

0.19285 is the probability that the time between the next two calls will be greater than 118.5 ​seconds.

F(x) = -x² + 4x - 1 find the value of f(x) if x = 0
ollegr [7]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

f(x) = -x² + 4x - 1 and x = 0

Putting the value of x we get,

f(0)= -0^{2} + (4 X 0) - 1

    = -0+0-1

    =-1

∴f(x)= -1

So, the required value is -1

PLEASE HELP!!! Find the equation , in the standard form of the line passing through the points (3,-4) and (5,1)

\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ 3 &,& -4~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ 5 &,& 1~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{1-(-4)}{5-3}\implies \cfrac{1+4}{5-3}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% point-slope intercept&#10;\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-4)=\cfrac{5}{2}(x-3)\implies y+4=\cfrac{5}{2}x-\cfrac{15}{2}

\bf y=\cfrac{5}{2}x-\cfrac{15}{2}-4\implies y=\cfrac{5}{2}x-\cfrac{23}{2}\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{now let's multiply both}\\&#10;\textit{sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;2(y)=2\left( \cfrac{5}{2}x-\cfrac{23}{2} \right)\implies 2y=5x-23\implies \stackrel{standard~form}{-5x+2y=-23}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{and if we multiply both sides by -1}\qquad 5x-2y=23

side note:  multiplying by the LCD of both sides is just to get rid of the denominators
