Approximate the value of 44 (Square root) to the nearest hundreth

I assume that calculators are not allowed, perhaps not even paper and pencil.

With paper and pencil, there is an algorithm to find the square-root of any number accurate to as many digits as we wish.  Please post if that is the case.

Without calculator, pen and pencil, we resort to mental arithmetic.  Someone with a little practice can memorize or calculate the square of all numbers up to 100, or as many as one can.

Here we can take advantage of exactly the property suggested by Xisca... that is, sqrt(44)=2sqrt(11), which reduces the calculation to more accuracy with a lesser knowledge of the squares of numbers.

As a first approximation, we know that 33*33=1089, or 3.3*3.3=10.89, which is already very close to 11.  

Thus a first approximation to sqrt(44)=2sqrt(11)=2*3.3=6.6 (approximately).

To refine the calculation of sqrt(11), we use Newton's approximation, namely

a better approximation is given by 3.3 + (11 - 3.3^2) / (2*3.3) = 3.3+0.11/6.6 = 3.3+1/60

which gives

sqrt(44) = 2(3.3+1/60) = 6.6+1/30 = 6.6333,

actually accurate almost to the nearest 1/10000.

All of the above can be done mentally

For those who need help with rounding to the nearest hundredth (0.01), we drop digits AFTER the 2nd decimal, namely *.**33.  If the first digit dropped is 5 or more, add one to the last digit retained, otherwise, retain only the two digits after the decimal.  In this case, the first digit dropped is 3, so it will simply be dropped.  The final answer is then 6.63, to the nearest hundredth.

Find the domain for the particular solution to the differential equation dy dx equals the quotient of 3 times y and x , with ini
Svetach [21]
For this case we have the following difference equation:
 dy / dx = 3xy

 Applying separable variables we have:
 dy / y = 3xdx

 Integrating both sides we have:
 \int\ ({1/y}) \, dy =  \int\ {3x} \, dx
 ln (y) = (3/2) x ^ 2 + C

 applying exponential to both sides:
 exp (ln (y)) = exp ((3/2) x ^ 2 + C)

 y = C * exp ((3/2) x ^ 2)
 For y (1) = 1 we have:
 C = 1 / (exp ((3/2) * 1 ^ 2))

C = 0.2
 Thus, the particular solution is:
 y = 0.2 * exp ((3/2) x ^ 2)

 Whose domain is all real.
 Answer:
 y = 0.2 * exp ((3/2) x ^ 2)
 Domain: all real numbers

Which angles are complementary<br> to &lt;2. Select all that apply.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

∠1 only

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles:

  • sum to 90°
  • form a right angle

The only angle (that's an answer choice) that helps form a right angle with angle 2 is angle 1, thus making it the correct answer.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
