Answer:

The Babylonian-Sumerian method of extracting a root, also called Heron's Method, uses a guess-divide-average method to extract irrational roots.

True [87]

Answer:

1. The eager boy walked into his new house.

2. The ferocious wolf ran into the dark forest.

3. The sly magician fooled the naive people.

4. The exuberant girl visited a good friend.

5. The homeless man begged for some food.

Explanation:

A noun is a word that names a thing, a place, or a person. In the sentences above, the nouns are: boy, house, wolf, forest, magician, people, girl, friend, man, and food. They are all common nouns, meaning that they do not refer to something or someone in particular.

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun by giving it a quality. For instance, when we say "magician", we only get to know about the profession of this person. But, when we add the adjective "sly", we know something more about him. We know he is deceitful, that is, someone who cannot be trusted.

First, I would like to state that I cannot answer all of this for you. These are questions that are asking for you to explain your own thoughts and opinions. Have fun with it and be honest! However, I will write my thoughts.

Music transcends verbal communication and impacts people on a personal and emotional level. Music is found in every place, time, and culture. There are even scientific explanations on how it affects the brain, making us produce "feel-good" hormones. Most people enjoy one type of music or another and can understand what different types of music are trying to communicate through the rhythm and beat. Put simply, music is a universal way of expressing one's self, just like an other art, such as painting or dancing.
