We will start with our guess of 12, since 12*2 = 24.
Divide 24 by 12; 24/12=2.  Average this answer with our guess:  (12+2)/2=7.  This is our new guess.
24/7=3.428571429.  Average this with our guess of 7:  (3.428571429+7)/2=5.214285715.  This is our new guess.
24/5.214285715=4.602739726.  Averaging with our guess:  (4.602739726+5.214285715)/2=4.90851272.  New guess!
24/4.90851272=4.889464766.  Averaging with our guess:  (4.889464766+4.90851272)/2=4.898988743.  New guess!  You can see as we go through our guesses are closer and closer to the same number...)
24/4.898988743=4.898970228.  Averaging:  (4.898970228+4.898988743)/2=4.898979486.  At this point our answer is the same every time down to the hundred-thousandth.  Our estimate to the nearest hundredth would be 4.90.

A soccer field is 100 yd wide and 130 yd long. find the length of the diagonal of such a field. give an exact answer as a radica
Misha Larkins [42]
We know that
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
c</span>²=a²+b²
c is the <span>length of the diagonal
a=100 yd
b=130 yd
c</span>²=100²+130²-------> c²=26900---------> c=√26900 units----> c=10√269 units

the answer is
the length of the diagonal is 10√269 units  or 164.012 units

Use the box-and-whisker plots to determine which statements are true.
ExtremeBDS [4]

The true statements are :

the average monthly temperatures of New Orleans are not as varied as that of Indianapolis.

The median of the average monthly temperatures of New Orleans is equal to the upper quartile of the average monthly temperature of Indianapolis.

<h3>What are the true options?</h3>

A box plot is used to study the distribution and level of a set of scores. The box plot consists whiskers. The whiskers represents the minimum and maximum scores.

On the box, the first line to the left represents the lower (first) quartile. The next line on the box represents the median.  The third line on the box represents the upper (third) quartile.

Range for New Orleans = 85 - 50 = 35

Range for Indianapolis = 75 - 25 = 50

Median for New Orleans = 70

Upper quartile for  Indianapolis = 70

Rain and Hantavirus in Mice Hantavirus is carried by wild rodents and causes severe lung disease in humans. A recent study1 on t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The overview of the given situation is described in the explanation segment below.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • By the details received, the reference variable becomes actual prevalence or occurrence of another virus whereas the descriptive variable becomes precipitation 'Precipitation compensated for 79% throughout variability with prevalence.'

As we know that the determination's coefficient will be:

⇒  R^2

(Percent of variance in the answer variable described by the explanatory variable).

Now the correlation among the two variables will be:

As we know,

⇒  r^2=R^2

⇒  r^2=0.79

⇒  r=\sqrt{0.79}

⇒  r=0.889

Match each part of the expression with what it represents
Natasha2012 [34]

The monomial x would be the length of the sports banner.

-We know this because we typically use a basic variable for the thing that does not change. In this case, the length of the sports banner remains the same.

The second degree term in the expression would be the increase in area of the culture banner to make the sports banner.

-We can tell this because when we increase the width of the banner by 12, the resulting polynomial is 12x larger than x^2 (which was the original area of the culture banner.

The binomial expression x + 12 would be the width of the sports banner.

-Since we are increasing the width of the culture banner from x, x + 12 would represent the new width of the sports banner.

The first degree term in the expression would be the area of the culture banner.

-Because side of the culture banner is the same before the increase, multiplying x by itself will give you an area of x^2. This is the first degree term.
