Estimate the square root to the nearest integer and tenth square root of 8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sever21 [200]3 years ago

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

)

=

)

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

⎩

=

a

1

=

1

a

n

+

2

=

a

n

−

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

−

3

=

3363

1189

≈

20.   The sum of two consecutive even integers is 158. Find the least of the two integers. 
Mumz [18]

Answer:

78

Step-by-step explanation:

The tricky part of this is figuring out how to assign the unknowns.  We are told that we are working with two consecutive even integers.  Consecutive means "next to" or "in order" and sum means to add.  If we use 2 and 4 as examples of our 2 consecutive even integers and assign x to 2, then in order to get from 2 to 4 we have to add 2.  So the lesser of the 2 integers is x, and the next one in order will be x + 2.  (2 and 4 are just used as examples; they mean nothing to the solving of this particular problem.  You could pick any 2 even consecutive integers and find the same rule applies.  All we are doing here with the example numbers is finding a rule for our integers.)  Now we have the 2 expressions for the integers, we will add them together and set the sum equal to 158:

x + (x + 2) = 158

The parenthesis are unnecessary since we are adding, so when we combine like terms we get

2x + 2 = 158 and

2x = 156 and

x = 78

That means that the lesser of the 2 integers in 78, and the next one in order would be 80, and 78 + 80 = 158

A gym charges a $59 fee plus $7.70 per week that person attends. The total cost y for any number of weeks x can be given using t
lianna [129]
Firstly the equation would be y=7.7x+59
(A)The slope is 7.7 (B) and shows that there is a 7.7 charge per week the person attends.
(A)The y intercept is 59 (B) and is the initial fee that the gym charges.
