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.

Describe and correct the error a student made when graphing y+5=-3/4(x-8).
Elis [28]
In step 1 the y-intercept should be plotted at (0,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that to find the Y intercept in any linear equation you need to use 0 as your X value, this means taking the formula in the y=mx+b form and replacing X with a 0.
Since the formula is y = -3/4x -6
We just insert a 0 insted of the "x"
y = -3/4(0) -6
y=0-6
y=6
So the y-intercept sould be placed in (0,-6)
That's what he did wrong when graphing the equation.

a car rental agency charge 20 per day plus 30 cents per mile. if you had one of the car for 5 days and your total bill is $197.5
Flura [38]

Answer:

325 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

$20 for each day

5 days

$0.30 for each mile

20(5) + 0.3x = 197.5

100 + 0.3x = 197.5

100 - 100 + 0.3x = 197.5 - 100

0.3x = 97.5

\frac{0.3x}{0.3} = \frac{97.5}{0.3}

x = 325

Refer to the figure below. If m<60 degrees l, find the measure of the other angles. Show your work(or explain) to receive ful
gladu [14]
All of the angles combined =360 degrees

Vertical angles are congruent, so if angle 1 = 60, so does angle 3

Logically we have to find the measure of angle 4 and angle 2 combined and divide by 2

60 + 60 = 120

360 - 120 = 240

240 / 2 = 120

angle 4 = 120
angle 2= 120

angle 3 = 60
