What is the square root of 8 rounded to the nearest tenth?

frozen [14]

Square Root of 8 to the nearest tenth, means to calculate the square root of 8 where the answer should only have one number after the decimal point.

Here are step-by-step instructions for how to get the square root of 8 to the nearest tenth:

Step 1: Calculate

We calculate the square root of 8 to be:

√8 = 2.82842712474619

Step 2: Reduce

Reduce the tail of the answer above to two numbers after the decimal point:

2.82

Step 3: Round

Round 2.82 so you only have one digit after the decimal point to get the answer:

2.8

To check that the answer is correct, use your calculator to confirm that 2.82 is about 8.

Use the mid-point rule with n = 4 to approximate the area of the region bounded by y = x3 and y = x. (10 points)

USPshnik [31]

See the graph attached.

The midpoint rule states that you can calculate the area under a curve by using the formula:
$M_{n} = \frac{b - a}{2} [ f(\frac{x_{0} + x_{1} }{2}) + f(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2}) + ... + f(\frac{x_{n-1} + x_{n} }{2})]$

In your case:
a = 0
b = 1
n = 4
x₀ = 0
x₁ = 1/4
x₂ = 1/2
x₃ = 3/4
x₄ = 1

Therefore, you'll have:
$M_{4} = \frac{1 - 0}{4} [ f(\frac{0 + \frac{1}{4} }{2}) + f(\frac{ \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} }{2}) + f(\frac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} }{2}) + f(\frac{\frac{3}{4} + 1} {2})]$
$M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [ f(\frac{1}{8}) + f(\frac{3}{8}) + f(\frac{5}{8}) + f(\frac{7}{8})]$

Now, to evaluate your f(x), you need to look at the graph and notice that:
f(x) = x - x³

Therefore:
$M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [(\frac{1}{8} - (\frac{1}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{3}{8} - (\frac{3}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{5}{8} - (\frac{5}{8})^{3}) + (\frac{7}{8} - (\frac{7}{8})^{3})]$

$M_{4} = \frac{1}{4} [(\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{512}) + (\frac{3}{8} - \frac{27}{512}) + (\frac{5}{8} - \frac{125}{512}) + (\frac{7}{8} - \frac{343}{512})]$

M₄ = 1/4 · (2 - 478/512)
= 0.2666

Hence, the <span>area of the region bounded by y = x³ and y = x</span> is approximately 0.267 square units.
