5x/8=7/2
10x=56
x=5.6
Answer:
x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 3 from -21 which is -24
then divide -24 by 4
You might need to consult your teacher or text to learn the details of the "ratio of perfect squares method" of determining an approximate square root. No reference to such a method can be found in an Internet search except in conjunction with problems similar to this one.
A method that can be used to find a first approximation of a square root is linear interpolation between the roots of adjacent perfect squares. For this, ...
• find the perfect squares of the consecutive integers that lie on either side of the root of interest
• form the ratio of difference between the number and the smaller square and the difference between the squares
• add this ratio to the smaller of the two integers to get an approximation of the root.
In this case, the square root of 96 lies between 9² = 81 and 10² = 100. The ratio of interest is (96 -81)/(100 -81) = 15/19. The approximate square root of 96 is then ...
√96 ≈ 9 + 15/19 ≈ 9.8
_____
If a = floor(√n), then this approximation to the root can be written as
√n ≈ a + (n -a²)/(2a+1)
If we define b = n - a², this looks like √n ≈ a + b/(2a+1). The approximation can be refined by replacing the 1 in the denominator with (b/(2a+1)). Repeately doing this replacement results in a "continued fraction" that converges to √n as more layers are added.

Answer:
107/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Your calculator and/or knowledge of trig function values can help you evaluate this.
= 4/3(1/3) +3/4 -3(3/4) +3(3) -2(1)
= 4/9 +3/4 -9/4 +9 -2
= 107/18
___
tan(30°) = 1/√3
tan(45°) = 1
tan(60°) = √3
sin(60°) = cos(30°) = √3/2
Answer:
a one in three chance, or 1/3
