Answer:

Answer: √3 = 1.732

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Jacob tries to estimate the square root of 75 and makes a calculation error. The following work was done by Jacob:

                   √75 = 3√25 = 3*5= 15

- The error was made by Jacob when he pulled out the constant " 3 " from under the root and missed to apply the property of square root on " 3 " itself.

- The correct version would be:

                  √75 = √3*√25 = √3*5

Answer: 5√3

- Now we will estimate the square root of 3 without using a calculator:

- We will first two per squares above and below " 3 " .

                 [ √4 = 2  ,    √1 = 1 ]

- From above we know that the square root lies within the range of  [ 1 , 2 ].

- We also know that " √3 " would is closer to "√4 ". Hence, would be closer to 2 as compared to 1.

- We will take a guess of " 1.75 ", and square all guesses:

Guess 1:      1.75^2   = 3.0625

- The number is higher than "3" but very close. Guess a number lower than last one but closer to 1.75:

Guess 2:      1.73^2   = 2.9929

- The number is lower than "3" but very close. Guess a number higher than last one but closer to 1.73:

Guess 3:      1.735^2 = 3.010225

- The number is higher than "3" but very close. Guess a number lower than last one but closer to 1.735:

Guess 4:      1.7325^2 = 3.00155625

- The number is higher than "3" but very close. Guess a number lower than last one but closer to 1.7325:

Guess 4:      1.7323^2 = 3.00086329   ... Stop here

- Rounding the number to nearest thousandths we need to look at the 4th decimal place value of " 1.7323 ". The 4th decimal place has to be lower than 3 to get an exact √3.

- Hence, the answer to nearest thousandth would have all the 4th decimal places an onwards truncated. Therefore,

Answer:

a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Square root of 75 (√75) is regarded as a surd function because the value inside the square root sign is not a perfect square. In that case the given value will be splitted into the product of a largest perfect square and a prime number as shown:

√75 = √3×25

√75 = √3×√25

√75 = √3 × 5

√75 = 5√3

a) Based on the above calculation, it can be inferred that his reasoning is incorrect. The value of 3 was supposed to be inside a square root not a whole number i.e √3 × √25

b) Since √75 = 5√3

√75 = 5 × 1.7321

√75 = 8.6605

√75 = 8.661 {to nearest thousand}

Do you know has three times as many dimes as quarters the dollar amount of her dimes and quarters is $6.05 how many quarters doe
vesna_86 [32]

The number of quarters she have 11.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Let consider y = quarters; x = dimes

We know that there are 3 times as many dimes as quarters. So we can state that x = 3y.

Then, we say that 25y + 10x = 605

(Value of coin * amount of coins)

Then we substitute x=3y into the equation, yielding:

25y + 10(3y) = 605

25y + 30y = 605

55y = 605

605/55 = 11 = y

Therefore, the number of quarters she have 11.

1. Bill decided to buy six books on history instead
bulgar [2K]

Answer: 2/3 books on politics

Step-by-step explanation:

The opportunity cost of something is the next best alternative that you would have taken if you did not instead go for the option that you took.

Opportunity cost here is the number of books on politics that Bill had to give up to get a single book on history.

= Number of politics books / Number of history  books

= 4 / 6

= 2/3 books on politics

<em>Bill gave up 2/3 books on politics to get a single history book. </em>
