Brandon rode in a taxi that charges a flat fee of $2.25 and an additional $0.40 per mile of his trip. If he paid $6.80 for the c
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

11 \frac{3}{8} miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many miles Brandon rode, we can create an equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

$2.25 is the flat fee, or the unchanging variable. This is our y-intercept, or b.

$0.40 is the changing variable, as it changes value depending on the amount of miles ridden. This is our slope, or m.

We know Brandon spent $6.80 on the cab ride. So, this is our y.

We get the equation: 6.80 = 0.40x + 2.25.

To solve, first subtract 2.25 from both sides of the equation:

6.80 - 2.25 = 0.40x + 2.25 - 2.25

We get: 4.55 = 0.40x

Now, just divide by 0.40 on both sides:

4.55 ÷ 0.40 = 0.40x ÷ 0.40

We get: 11.375 = x

So, Brandon rode for 11.375 miles. When converted to a mixed number, we get 11 \frac{3}{8} .

What is the square root of 95.54
vladimir2022 [97]
Well this is simple a calculator type problem...but if you are curious as the the algorithm used by simple calculators and such...

They use a Newtonian approximation until it surpasses the precision level of the calculator or computer program..

A newtonian approximation is an interative process that gets closer and closer to the actual answer to any mathematical problem...it is of the form:

x-(f(x)/(df/dx))

In a square root problem you wish to know:

x=√n  where x is the root and n is the number

x^2=n

x^2-n=0

So f(x)=x^2-n and df/dx=2x so using the definition of the newton approximation you have:

x-((x^2-n)/(2x)) which simplifies further to:

(2x^2-x^2+n)/(2x)

(x^2+n)/(2x), where you can choose any starting value of x that you desire (though convergence to an exact (if possible) solution will be swifter the closer xi is to the actual value x)

In this case the number, n=95.54, so a decent starting value for x would be 10.

Using this initial x in (x^2+95.54)/(2x) will result in the following iterative sequence of x.

10, 9.777, 9.774457, 9.7744565, 9.7744565066299210578124802523397

The calculator result for my calc is: 9.7744565066299210578124802523381

So you see how accurate the newton method is in just a few iterations. :P
