The Babylonian method for approximating square roots is the recursive method given by:

Given:

x0≈k−−√
x
0
≈
k


Then:

xn+1=x2n+k2xn
x
n
+

=
x
n
2

k

where k
k
is the number for which we are approximating the square root.

So, armed with this formula, let's now answer the given questions:

1.) Fill in the missing info in the problem to find square root 130 by using the Babylonian method. Let 11.5 be your initial guess.

We will use 15 digits of precision here since it is not stated how many iterations to carry out:

x0=11.5
x
0
=
11.5


x1≈11.4021739130435
x
1
≈
11.4021739130435


x2≈11.4017542587143
x
2
≈
11.4017542587143


x3≈11.4017542509914
x
3
≈
11.4017542509914


x4≈11.4017542509914
x
4
≈
11.4017542509914


Thus, with 15 digits of accuracy, we may state:

130−−−√≈11.4017542509914
130
≈
11.4017542509914


2.) Use the Babylonian method for your next estimate of square root 115 by using 10.7262 as your guess what's your next result?

The next result here is approximately:

x1=10.72622+1152⋅10.7262≈10.7238055620816
x

=
10.7262

3.) Nails wants to use the Babylonia method to estimate square root 58 to the nearest hundredth her initial estimate is 7.8. What is her estimate after she correctly completes the Babylonian method once?

The next result here is:

x1=7.82+582⋅7.8=7.6179487¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

4.) If you use the Babylonian method to estimate square root 75 to the nearest hundredth, starting with the estimate 8. What is the next estimate?

The next result here is:

x1=82+752⋅8=8.6875
x

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with an area of 2x^2+11x+5 in^2?​
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

6x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = side x side

Factor the quadratic:

2x^2 +10x / +1x +5

2x(x+5) 1 (x+5)

(2x + 1) (x+5)

^These are your two sides

Perimeter =2L + 2W

(2(2x+1)) + (2(x+5))

4x+4+2x+10 = final answer 6x + 14

Kaitlyn drove 360 miles in 9 hours. If she continues driving at the same speed, how far will she have driven in 11 hours?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

440 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to calculate the number of miles per hour. To do this, take the total number of miles traveled and divide it by the number of hours it took. 360/9=40. This means Kaitlyn drove at 40 miles per hour. Then, we need to multiply 40 by 11 to figure out the number of miles she drove in 11 hours because her speed stayed the same. 40*11=440. This means Kaitlyn will have driven 440 miles in 11 hours.

Hope this helps! :)
