Estimate square root of 90 to the nearest hundredths place

The method for doing this will depend on the required accuracy of your estimate.

Using linear approximation between 9^2 = 81 and 10^2 = 100, the estimate is
.. 9 +(90-81)/(100-81) = 9 +9/19 ≈ 9.47

Using one round of "Babylonian Method" on the above estimate,
.. (9.47 +90/9.47)/2 ≈ 9.486 ≈ 9.49 . . . . . . actually accurate to the hundredths place

Using derivatives and linear approximation,
.. √90 ≈ √81 +1/(2√81)*(90-81) = 9.50
or
.. √90 ≈ √100 +1/(2√100)*(90 -100) = 9.50

Assume no calculators, no paper, no pen, all in the head.

90=9*10, so 9.5 is a good approximation.
in fact, 9.5=9*10+0.562=90.25
We will use this initial estimate x0=9.5 to improve to accurate to the hundredth (and more).

Newton's method gives a better estimate by the following formula (all done in the head)
x1=x0-(x0^2-90)/(2*x0)
=9.5-(90.25-90)/(2*9.5)
=9.5-0.25/19
=9.5-0.013125   [in the head, 0.25/19=0.25/20+5%=0.125+0.0625=0.013125]
=9.486875
=9.49  (to the hundredth)

Exact value = 9.48683298...

At store A, 3 pounds of apples cost $12. At store B, the cost is given by y = 2 x where y is the cost in dollars and x is the nu
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The unit price is the cost per unit of an item or the cost/price for each item.

1) 4$ per pound. By simplifying the proportion (constant ratio) between the cost, and the pounds of apples. 3 pounds of apples cost 12$ → 3/3 pounds of apples cost 12/3$ → 4 dollars for every pound.

2) 2$ per pound. By evaluating the rate of change (change in the y over x or dependent variable over independent) in the equation: y = 2x. y is the cost in dollars, and x is the pounds of apples. So there are 2 pounds (weight) of apples for every dollar.

3) 3$ per pound. Given a graph with a y scaled by 3, and an x scaled by 1 with a graph y = x or 1 unit up for every unit right. This must be equivalent to y = 3x. Where y is labeled as the cost in dollars, and x as the weight in pounds. So there are 3 dollars for every pound of apples.

4) Store B. Because 2 is less than 3 which is less than 4.

Hope it helps, stay safe and tell me if me wrong! :D

What is m∠A ?<br><br><br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> °

The definition of the interior angles of a triangle states that interior angles of a triangle add up to 180º.

This means we can find the measure of <CED: 

<CED + <ECD + <CDE = 180º
<CED = 180º - <ECD - <CDE
<CED = 180º - 43º - 35º
<CED = 102º

By the definition of vertical angles states that a pair of vertical angles are congruent.

This means <CED = <AEB
If <CED = 102º 
Then <AEB = 102º

By definition of the interior angles of triangles:
<AEB + <EBA + <BAE = 180º

<AEB = 102º
<EBA = 18º

102º + 18º + <BAE(<A) = 180º

<BAE = 180º - 102º - 18º
<BAE = 60º

<BAE is another way to say <A

<span>m∠A  = 60º</span>

Find the area of the shape
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

A=42.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you split this shape into a square and a triangle.

The area of the square is 5✖️5=25.

Then, there is a triangle left.

We do not know about the hypotenuse, but the sides are 5 and 7.

5✖️7=35/2<-- because it is a triangle. =17.5

You add both areas, and you get the total of 42.5.

Hope this helps!
