Answer:

51 minutes!

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Hello there fellow human!</em>

First off, you convert kilometers to miles.

1 kilometer = 0.62 miles; therefore, 8 kilometers = 8*0.62 = 4.96 miles

Next, you determine how many minutes it takes for John to cover 1 mile

which is gotten by dividing 41 by 4;  

41 / 4 = 10.25. So it takes 10.25 minutes to cover 1 mile. (minutes per mile)

Next, you multiply the number of minutes taken to cover <em>1 mile (10.25)</em> by <em>4.96 miles (8 kilometers)</em>,  10.25 * 4.96 = 50.84 minutes. Rounding that to the nearest minute, you get 51 minutes which make sense because the amount of time taken to cover 4 miles (41 minutes) will be shorter than the time taken to cover 4.96 miles (50.84 minutes) since 4 miles is smaller than 4.96 miles. DIRECT PROPORTION

All calculations where done with a calculator. If you don't have that, you can always divide manually and convert to fraction.

$650 is invested in an account at 3%
o-na [289]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest = 650*\frac{3}{100}=$19.5

End of first year = 650+19.5 = $669.50

End of second year = 669.50+19.5 = $ 689

End of third year = 689+19.5 = $708.50

End of fourth year = 708.50 +19.5 = $ 728

End of fifth year = 728 +19.5 = $747.50

Use Newton''s method to find the second and third approximation of a root of x^3 + x + 3= 0 starting with x1 = -1 as the initial
BARSIC [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  see attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The iterator for Newton's method gives the next approximation (x') as ...

  x' = x -g(x)/g'(x) . . . . . where g'(x) is the derivative of g(x)

We have defined g(x) = x^3+x+3, the function we want the zero of. We have defined the iteration function to be f(x).

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Modern graphing calculators not only make the iteration trivially simple, they also give a first approximation good to 2 or 3 decimal places in many cases.

hal says that the greatest product of a 3-digit number and a 1-digit number is 8,891. Is he correct? Expland
spin [16.1K]
No it would be 8991 because the highest 3 digit number (999) multiplied by the greatest 1 digit number (9) would be 8991 so Hal is wrong.
