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.

Look at the histogram below which data set could be represented by the histogram
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Option 4 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to select from the options, the dataset that is represented on the histogram

From what we have in the question, there is a range from 60 to 100

Also, there are no terms between 70 and 80

option 1 is wrong as we can see terms between 70 and 80

option 2 is also wrong for this reason

option 3 is incorrect ; looking at the frequency, the numbers between 60 and 70 should be 5 only and we have 6 in that set

Option 4 is the correct answer

if a 14 foot tree casts a 8 foot long shadow. how tall is a tree that casts a 4 foot long shadow?
kvasek [131]

7-foot

EXPLANAT

Given:

14 foot tree

8foot shadow

4foot shadow

Let h be the height of a tee that casts a 4 foot long shadow.

Using proportion;

14 foot = 8 ft shadow

h = 4 ft shadow

Cross - multiply

8h = 56

Divide both-side by 8

h = 7 foot.

Hence, the tree is 7-foot.

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (2,6) and has slope of 5?
sleet_krkn [62]
Firstly, you can use the slope and the first point to find a second point:
2 + 1 = x2 and 6 + 5 = y2 because the slope is 5/1. 
Next you can write the equation in point-slope form (remember point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1):
y - 11 = 5(x - 3) 
Another equation would be B because B is the correct equation if you choose 2 as x2 and 6 as y2. 
Hope this helps!
