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

Give a set of five integers, two positive and three negative, for which the mean, median, and mode are all -3
koban [17]
That's 5 integers...

Logic tells me that a number divided by 5 should be equal to -3. -15/5 is in fact equal to -3.

Let's find 5 integers (two positive and three negative) when added up together equal -15.

-14, -3, -3, 2, 3.

[(-14)+(-3)+(-3)+2+3]/5 = (-15)/5 = -3

Mean = -3

----------

Now let's put these numbers in order, from lowest to highest - then pick out the middle value...

-14, -3, [-3], 2, 3

The median turns out to be -3.

------------

Let's look at the numbers once again...

-14, -3, -3, 2, 3

It turns out that -3 appears the most, therefore -3 is the mode too.
