Answer:

  • use linear interpolation for a first approximation
  • use Newton's method iteration to refine the approximation

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's one way.

Multiply your number by an even power of 10 so that it is in the range 1–100. Call this power 2n. Call the scaled number N.

Make use of your knowledge of the squares of small integers to determine if the number you now have is a perfect square. If it is, the integer whose square it is is the square root of your scaled number. Skip to the Last Step.

__

Based on your determination in the previous step, identify the perfect squares on either side of your (scaled) number. If L² is the lower of these squares, and H² is the higher, compute the value ...

  X = (N -L²)/(H² -L²) +L  . . . .  linearly interpolated approximate root

You can use this as an approximation of √N. If it is not close enough for you, you can refine it by computing an iterated value:

  X ← (X² +N)/(2X)    or, equivalently,   X ← (1/2)(N/X +X)

The first of these approximations will get you within 6%; one iteration will get you within 0.2%. (<em>Each additional iteration will approximately double the number of accurate decimal places</em>.)

__

Last step: Using the integer or X (or iterated X) value, multiply by 10^-n to restore the appropriate scale of your root.

_____

<u>Example</u>:

  √199.6 ≈ ?

Multiply your value by 10^-2 to get N = 1.996 (with 2n=-2). The squares on either side are 1² = 1 and 2² = 4. Then the first approximation of the root is ...

  X = (1.996 -1)/(4 -1)+1 = 0.996/3 +1 = 1.332

One iteration of our formula gives ...

  X = (1.332² +1.996)/(2·1.332) = 1.415

Then the last step is to multiply this value by 10^-n = 10^1:

  √199.6 ≈ 14.15 . . . . root of 199.6 within 0.2%

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

The iteration described above is also called the "Babylonian method".

If you're familiar with squares of integers between 2 and 20, then better linear interpolation accuracy can be had by doing the scaling so that N is between 4 and 400.

A method for developing square roots digit by digit, suitable for hand calculation, is described in some detail on the NIST web site. It can be found by doing a web search on "square root nist algorithm" without the quotes.

Mr. Smith works on a temporary basis. The mean length of each job he gets is three months. If the amount of time he spends betwe
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Mr Smith gets a new job, every 5 months on the average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Smith spends an average of 3 months on every job he gets.

Then he spends an average of 2 months in between jobs.

Meaning, on the average, if he has a job, he does it for 3 months, then leaves, lends the next 2 months without a job, then gets another job at the end of the 2 months without a job and then he repeats the cycle of 3 months on the job, 2 months without the job.

So, on the average it takes Mr. Smith, (3+2) months to get a new job.

Colby has 16 jars of spices. He wants to arrange them in arrays what arrays could he use to arrange them?
allsm [11]

Answer:

1 row with 16 jars, 2 rows with 8 jars and 4 rows with 4 jars are the arrays in order to arrange jars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, there are 16 jars of spices and he has to arrange them in arrays, then he can arrange 16 jars each in one row, 8 jars each in 2 rows and 4 jars each in 4 rows.

These are the only possibilities without breaking the jars into pieces.
