Would use the algorithm for solving square root.

For square root,  √n

x₁ = 0.5(x₀ + n/x₀)        

(This formula is known and for square root, and can be derived using Newton-Raphson's approximation equation)

Where x₀ is the initial guess.  x₁ becomes the new guess.

For √100.6  let our initial guess be 10,  x₀ = 10,  n = 100.6

Our approximation shall be to 3 decimal places. Once we get the same answer twice we stop the algorithm.

x₀ = 10,  x₁ = 0.5(x₀ + n/x₀),    x₁ = 0.5(10 + 100.6/10)  = 10.030, x₁ = 10.030

x₂ = 0.5(x₁ + n/x₁),    x = 0.5(10.030 + 100.6/10.030)  ≈10.015,  x₂ ≈ 10.030 (to 3 decimal places)

Since x₂≈ x₁, the algorithm stops.

So the √100.6 is ≈ 10.030 to 3 decimal places.

I hope this helps.

Between 02 30 and 05 30,the same day,the volume of water in a reservoir increased from 6000 L to 18 000 L.What was the average r
irinina [24]

Answer:

4,000 L/h

Step-by-step explanation:

First we'll find the amount of the change.

18,000 - 6,000 = 12,000 L

The time of the volume change was 3 hours: 0230 - 0530

Since we're looking for liters per hour, we will divide the liters (12,000) by the hours (3)

12,000/3 = 4,000 L/h

PLEASE HELP!!! I've been really struggling with these. Can someone assist with this?
Archy [21]
When dealing with little odds you must know one part and the whole part. For number 1 a fraction , 7 is a part of a 11 which is the whole. For 2 a percent, 6% part and 100% whole, here you had to know that for 6% to exist there had to be a 100% . For 3 a ratio, the first number is part (2) and the second is whole (7). Look at pic for all work.

The heights (in inches) and pulse rates (in beats per minute) for a sample of 40 women were measured. Using technology with the
Viktor [21]

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence  to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the heights and pulse rates of women

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient between the variables h(height in inches) and pulse rates (in beats per minute) is 0.202

Sample size n=40

Level of significane alpha = 0.01

Create null and alternate hypothesis as:

H0: r=0

Ha: r not equal 0

(Two tailed test at 1% significance level)

Sample r = 0.202

r difference = 0.202

test statistic t = \frac{r\sqrt{n-2} }{\sqrt{1-r^2} } \\=\frac{0.202(\sqrt{38} )}{\sqrt{0.9592} } \\=\frac{1.25}{0.9794} \\=1.271

df =n-2 =38

t critical value for 0.01 and df =38 is 2.704

Since our test statistic lies below 2.704, we accept null hypothesis

There is not sufficient evidence  to support the claim that there is a linear correlation between the heights and pulse rates of women
