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
+
1
=
x
n
2
+
k
2
x
n


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¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
x

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

two boxes of identical birthday candles are pictured: a 2 ounces box and 6- ounces box. There is 96 candles in the large box. Ho
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:  There are 32 candles in the small box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Size of small box= 2 ounces

Size of large box = 6 ounces

Number of candles in large box = 96,

We need to find the number of candles in the small box ,

As there is direct variation between the small box and large box ,

let the number of candles in the small box be x

So,

\frac{96}{6}=\frac{x}{2}\\\\16=\frac{x}{2}\\\\16\times 2=x\\\\32=x

so, there are 32 candles in the small box.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of 6 in 4,786.53, is in the ones. 6

The value of 6 in 3,821.69, is in the tenths. 0.6

6/0.6 = 10

The 6 in 4,786.53, is 6 times greater than the 6 in 3,821.69.

3a) Answer: 84 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2(x+20)= 180 (total sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees)

5x+40 = 180

5x = 140

x= 28

3x= 28 x 3

   = 84

The image below is a triangle drawn inside a circle with center O: Which of the following expressions shows the area, in square
s344n2d4d5 [400]
We know that
[area of a circle ]=pi*r²
diameter=4 in
 r=4 in/2-----> 2 in

so
area=pi*2²-----> area of the circle=4*pi in²

the answer is
the area, in square inches, of the circle is <span>3.14 • 2²</span>
