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

Mathematics

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

:

8

)

=

(

x

−

3

)

2

8

=

x

−

x

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

⎧

⎪

⎨

⎪

⎩

a

=

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

Despite popular belief, investigators have gotten a tip that the Loch Ness Monster is actually being kept as a pet in a Scottish
romanna [79]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

room 3 or 4

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We assume the inequalities tell the rooms that were checked and found empty.

The solution to 3) is ...

... 2x + 3 > 11

... 2x > 8 . . . . . subtract 3

... x > 4 . . . . . . .divide by 2

The solution to 4) is ...

... -3x > -9

... x < 3 . . . . . . divide by -3

Thus, rooms greater than 4 and less than 3 were found empty. Rooms 3 and 4 were not checked, so either one could hold Nessie.

_____

The other inequalities have solutions that are already covered by the solutions to these.

1) x < -1 . . . . after subtacting 4

2) x > 5 . . . . after multiplying by 5

Which equation represents the line that passes through the points (-4,3) and (2,12)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

y = 3/2 x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

take the two points and find slope :

12 - 3 / 2 - (-4) = 3/2

then use the slope and one of the points to find the y-intercept :

y = 3/2 x + b

3 = 3/2 * (-4) + b   (Substitute)

3 = -6 + b             (Multiplication)

3 + 6 = -6 + b + 6 (Addition)

b = 9

so, your final slope-intercept equation is :

y = 3/2 x + 9
