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:

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}

Which relations are functions and which are not functions?

dimaraw [331]

If the x value is repeated is is not a function. (unless it is a negative and a positive)
So lets see:
For A we have 3 6 9 12 no repeations so therefore It is A
For B we have 2 2 3 9, 2 is repeated so therefore it is B
For C we have 4 6 4 6, both 4 and 6 were repeated so therefore is is B
and lastly for D we have 3 5 6 6
And 6 was repeated so therefore it is B.
A)A
B)B
C)B
D)B

I need help ASAP please “f(x)= ?”

Gre4nikov [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

just think - what does it mean to translate (shift) a graph upward by 5 units ?

does the graph change in its content ? no. all the functional result value (= y values or coordinates) are still calculated as before, BUT before marking them on the chart the y values are moved up by 5 units. that means they are increased by 5 (that is the only way to move something "up" on a coordinate grid).

so, in other words, f(x) is nothing else but h(x), but it increases the results of h(x) consistently by 5.

h(x) = 2x² + 4

f(x) = h(x) + 5 = 2x² + 4 + 5 = 2x² + 9

Use the roster method to write each of the given sets. For some exercises you may need to consult a reference, such as the Inter

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The empty set $\{ \}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Roster method is simply listing explicitly all the elements in the set, one by one (writing them between two curly brackets, and separating them through commas).

We want then to list explicitly all the elements in the following set:

The set of natural numbers x that satisfy x+2=1.

So, first we have to figure out which numbers are in that set. The set is made ONLY of those natural numbers x, that when you add 2 to them, you get 1. Clearly no natural number has that property (since the only number that would give us 1 when adding 2 to it, is the number -1, which is NOT a natural number). So there aren't any numbers at all in that set. So if we were to list them, we'd just list nothing inside the set:

$\{ \}$ (which is just the empty set)

Find BD.<br> help me pls

Anna [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that Ar is the perpendicular bisector of chord BD. Since A is the center of the circle, AR is the radius of the circle, which is 10 (6+4)

Next, we can see that when we connect point A to point D, it is also a radius. Thus, AD is also equal to 10 as the radius of the circle remains the same.

Using Pythagoras theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, we can make a right angled triangle of ACD.

AC = 6 = a

CD = ? = b

AD = 10 = c

10^2 = 6^2 + b^2

b^2 = 10^2 - 6^2 = 64

b = CD = 8

Now, since Ar is the perpendicular bisector of chord BD, BD = CD x 2

BD = 8 x 2 = <u>16</u>
