Answer:

I do not know what choices you have, but 0.9110433579144299 is the square root of 0.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Divide the number (0.83) by 2 to get the first guess for the square root .

First guess = 0.83/2 = 0.415.

Step 2:

Divide 0.83 by the previous result. d = 0.83/0.415 = 2.

Average this value (d) with that of step 1: (2 + 0.415)/2 = 1.2075 (new guess).

Error = new guess - previous value = 0.415 - 1.2075 = 0.7925.

0.7925 > 0.001. As error > accuracy, we repeat this step again.

Step 3:

Divide 0.83 by the previous result. d = 0.83/1.2075 = 0.6873706004.

Average this value (d) with that of step 2: (0.6873706004 + 1.2075)/2 = 0.9474353002 (new guess).

Error = new guess - previous value = 1.2075 - 0.9474353002 = 0.2600646998.

0.2600646998 > 0.001. As error > accuracy, we repeat this step again.

Step 4:

Divide 0.83 by the previous result. d = 0.83/0.9474353002 = 0.8760492667.

Average this value (d) with that of step 3: (0.8760492667 + 0.9474353002)/2 = 0.9117422835 (new guess).

Error = new guess - previous value = 0.9474353002 - 0.9117422835 = 0.0356930167.

0.0356930167 > 0.001. As error > accuracy, we repeat this step again.

Step 5:

Divide 0.83 by the previous result. d = 0.83/0.9117422835 = 0.9103449681.

Average this value (d) with that of step 4: (0.9103449681 + 0.9117422835)/2 = 0.9110436258 (new guess).

Error = new guess - previous value = 0.9117422835 - 0.9110436258 = 0.0006986577.

0.0006986577 <= 0.001. As error <= accuracy, we stop the iterations and use 0.9110436258 as the square root.

So, we can say that the square root of 0.83 is 0.911 with an error smaller than 0.001 (in fact the error is 0.0006986577). this means that the first 3 decimal places are correct. Just to compare, the returned value by using the javascript function 'Math.sqrt(0.83)' is 0.9110433579144299.

Alex is 4 years younger than 2 times his sister's age. Write a rule that represents Alex's age x as a function of his sister's a
Vesna [10]

Answer:

y = 2x - 4; Alex is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Alex is 4 years younger than 2 times his sister's age, and his sister is y and Alex is x, the function of y to x must be y = 2x - 4.

According to the rule, if Alex's sister is 11, Alex is 2 times that minus four. If you calculate that, you get

11 * 2 = 22

22 - 4 = 18

So Alex is 18 if his sister is 11.
