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

What is the value of y for the line that had a slope of -3/2 and passes through the points (3,5) and (7,y)?

Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university, and let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card an
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1) is not possible

2) P(A∪B) = 0.7

3) 1- P(A∪B) =0.3

4) a) C=A∩B' and P(C)= 0.3

b)  P(D)= 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) since the intersection of 2 events cannot be bigger than the smaller event then is not possible that P(A∩B)=0.5 since P(B)=0.4  . Thus the maximum possible value of P(A∩B) is 0.4

2) denoting A= getting Visa card , B= getting MasterCard the probability of getting one of the types of cards is given by

P(A∪B)= P(A)+P(B) - P(A∩B) = 0.6+0.4-0.3 = 0.7

P(A∪B) = 0.7

3) the probability that a student has neither type of card is 1- P(A∪B) = 1-0.7 = 0.3

4) the event C that the selected student has a visa card but not a MasterCard is given by  C=A∩B'  , where B' is the complement of B. Then

P(C)= P(A∩B') = P(A) - P(A∩B) = 0.6 - 0.3 = 0.3

the probability for the event D=a student has exactly one of the cards is

P(D)= P(A∩B') + P(A'∩B) = P(A∪B) - P(A∩B) = 0.7 - 0.3 = 0.4
