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

Mathematics
1 answer:

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  

3

+

√

8

and  

3

−

√

:

(

x

−

3

−

√

8

)

(

√

8

)

=

(

x

−

3

)

2

−

8

=

x

2

−

x

+

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

⎧

⎪

⎨

⎪

⎩

a

0

=

0

a

1

=

1

a

n

+

2

=

6

a

n

+

1

−

a

n

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

≈

2.828427

Alja [10]
<span>Given that Devorah is filling a pool with a hose. The volume.H. In liters, of water coming out of the hose in .m.minutes is given by the function H(m)=17.4m. However it is a sunny day, and water is also evaporating from the pool. Therefore,the volume ,V, in liters, of water in the pool m minutes after devorah started filling it is given by V(m)=17m.

  IfE be the volume of water, In Liters ,that has evaporated from the pool m minutes after devorah started filling it .

The formula for E(m) in terms of H(m) and V(m) is given by

E(m) = H(m) - V(m)

And

The formula for E(m) in terms of m is given by

E(m) = 17.4m - 17m = 0.4m</span>

Which graph represents y = |xl?<br> A<br> B<br> C<br> D
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation represented in the question is the parent absolute value question. If you know the different parent functions, then the answer is obvious because absolute value equations always form a V. However, if you do not do this then you can create a table and plugin values. Plugin numbers like 0, -1, and 1 for X and solve for Y. Finally, graph these points and see what graph best fits. If needed you can also plug in more points.
