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.

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to -1 +3y=9 and passes through the point (-3, 2)?​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

y-2 = 3/10(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

3y = 10

y = 10/3

looking for perpendicular so slope = 3/10

using the given point

y-2 = 3/10(x+3)

The volume v of a gas kept at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure p. If the pressure is 24 pounds per square
daser333 [38]

Answer:

V=12\ ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form y*x=k or y=k/x

In this problem

P*V=k

step 1

Find the value of K

For P=24\ psi ,V=15\ ft^{3}

substitute

24*15=k

k=360

the equation is P*V=360

step 2

For P=30\ psi ,V=\ ft^{3}

substitute in the equation

(30)*V=360

V=360/30=12\ ft^{3}

I need help with this question can someone please help me?

Answer: y= -1/1x - 1

Okay, to find the equation you must find the y-intercept and the slope.

To find the y-intercept, you must find (0,y). This is the point on the y-axis where x is 0. So, where along the y-axis is there a point? There is a point at (0,-1). Therefore, your y-intercept is -1.

To find the slope, you must do rise/run. Go to a point on the line, such as (0,-1). You must go up (or down) until you get lined up with next point on the line. You go up one time. Then, you must go right (or left) to get to the exact point. In this case, the point would be (-1,0). You go left one time.

If you go down or left when doing rise/run, the number would be negative. Since you went left, that number would be negative.

So, our slope would be 1/-1, which can also be written as -1/1.

Now, write the equation. There is always an x next to the slope. y= -1/1x

Then, put the y-intercept next to it. If it is positive, use a +. If it is negative, use a -. It is negative.

Therefore, the answer is y= -1/1x -1.
