Well this is simple a calculator type problem...but if you are curious as the the algorithm used by simple calculators and such...
They use a Newtonian approximation until it surpasses the precision level of the calculator or computer program..
A newtonian approximation is an interative process that gets closer and closer to the actual answer to any mathematical problem...it is of the form:
x-(f(x)/(df/dx))
In a square root problem you wish to know:
x=√n where x is the root and n is the number
x^2=n
x^2-n=0
So f(x)=x^2-n and df/dx=2x so using the definition of the newton approximation you have:
x-((x^2-n)/(2x)) which simplifies further to:
(2x^2-x^2+n)/(2x)
(x^2+n)/(2x), where you can choose any starting value of x that you desire (though convergence to an exact (if possible) solution will be swifter the closer xi is to the actual value x)
In this case the number, n=95.54, so a decent starting value for x would be 10.
Using this initial x in (x^2+95.54)/(2x) will result in the following iterative sequence of x.
10, 9.777, 9.774457, 9.7744565, 9.7744565066299210578124802523397
The calculator result for my calc is: 9.7744565066299210578124802523381
So you see how accurate the newton method is in just a few iterations. :P
Did you find the answer? I could use the help with it too.
Answer:
David saves the most (20%)
Step-by-step explanation:
The fraction Anna saves is given as 19%.
The fraction Laura saves is 1-(17/20) = 3/20 = 15/100 = 15%.
The fraction David saves is 2/(2+8) = 2/10 = 20/100 = 20%.
David saves the most of his salary each month.
Answer:
congruency means that the size and shape must be exactly the same in the figures that are compared. A triangle cannot be congruent to a quadrilateral because it has three sides whereas a quadrilateral has four. An isosceles triangle cannot be congruent to a non isosceles triangle because the sides would be different lengths.
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps :)
Answer:
length = 24, width = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the length and width of the first rectangle w + 15 and w respectively. This means that the length and width of the second rectangle is (w + 15) - 2 and w + 5 respectively. Since the perimeter of the second rectangle is 72, we can write:
2 * ((w + 15) - 2 + w + 5) = 72 because perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
(w + 15) - 2 + w + 5 = 36 (Divide by 2)
2w + 18 = 36 (Combine like terms)
2w = 18 (Subtract 18)
w = 9 (Divide by 2)
This means that the length and width are 24 and 9.
