The ancient Babylonians developed a method for calculating nonperfect squares by 1700 BCE. Complete the statements to demonstrat

e how to use this method to find the approximate value of. In order to determine , let G1 = 2, a number whose square is close to 5. 5 ÷ G1 = , which is not equal to G1, so further action is necessary. Average 2 and G1 to find G2 = 2. 25. 5 ÷ G2 ≠(rounded to the nearest thousandth), which is not equal to G2, so further action is necessary. Average 2. 25 and G2 to find G3 = 2. 236. 5 ÷ G3 ≠(rounded to the nearest thousandth), which is equal to G3. That means is approximately 2. 236.

The steps taken to find the √5 using the ancient method is;

5/G1 = 2.5

5/G2 = 2.222

5/G3 = 2.236

We want to find √5 with the ancient Babylonian method for calculating non-perfect squares;

We are told that G1 = 2

Thus;

5/G1 = 2.5

We are told to average 2.25 and G2 to get 2.236

This means that;

(2.25 + G2)/2 = 2.236

2.25 + G2 = 2 × 2.236

G2 = 4.472 - 2.25

G2 = 2.222

Second step is;

5/G2 = 2.222

Finally;

5/G3 = 2.236

Describe the transformation of f
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Horizontal ; 4 units right

Vertical ; 5 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to describe a transformation

From what we have, we can see that while 4 was added to the x value, 5 was subtracted from the whole

The 4 added shows a translation to  the right of the x-axis while the -5 added is a downward translation on the y axis

So we have our answer as;

horizontal translation of 4 units right and vertical translation of 5 units down

A dog's weight increased by 50% in 3 years. By the end of 3 years, the dog weighed 45 pounds. How much did the dog weigh 3 years
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter D. 30 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

increase = 50%

final weighed = 45 pounds

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem. 45 pounds will be 150% (the initial 100% plus an increase of 50%).

                       45 pounds ------------------ 150%

                          x  pounds -----------------  100%

                          x = (100 x 45)/150

                          x = 4500/150

Result

                         x = 30 pounds
