Answer:
√
8
≈
3
Explanation:
Note that:
2
2
=
4
<
8
<
9
=
3
2
Hence the (positive) square root of
8
is somewhere between
2
and
3
. Since
8
is much closer to
9
=
3
2
than
4
=
2
2
, we can deduce that the closest integer to the square root is
3
.
We can use this proximity of the square root of
8
to
3
to derive an efficient method for finding approximations.
Consider a quadratic with zeros

√

and

√

:

)
(

From this quadratic, we can define a sequence of integers recursively as follows:
⎧
⎪

a

The first few terms are:
0
,
1
,
6
,
35
,
204
,
1189
,
6930
,
...
The ratio between successive terms will tend very quickly towards
3
+
√
8
.
So:
√
8
≈
6930
1189

1189
≈

Answer:
x= 13, angle 1= 37, and angle 2= 53
Step-by-step explanation:
So you have 2x+11+1+4x=90 degrees
If you simplify it, it becomes 6x+12=90 degrees
Then, you rearrange; 6x=90-12 or 6x= 78
So then, x=13
For angle 1 its 2x+11= 37 degrees
And angle 2 is 1+4x= 53 degrees
Answer: u got a course hero account ?
Step-by-step explanation:
"<span>-No, because California and Texas also have two of the greatest areas, so they may not have the greatest population densities."
This is correct as the states such as New Jersey may not have as large as a population as Texas and California but, have a significantly less land than those states. Population density refers to people per km squared, which takes both land and population into account.
Hope this helps!
