Kayla wants to use the Babylonian method to estimate ^43 to the nearest hundredth. Her initial estimate is 6.9. What is her estimate after she correctly completes the Babylonian method once? 1. 6.44 2. 6.45 3. 6.56 4. 6.57
sorry dont know. hope u get it !
that was a great answer and it deserves a medal
@RED LMAOO Ook i ghess i meen this math is krazy nowadays!
lol
What's the Babylonian Method?
Seriously? Don't gimme a medal until I actually do something.
You're de-valuing the OS medals! There's gunna be an OS economical collapse!
i didnt give anyone, any medals
So, what's the Babylonian Method?
its a method for computing square roots
The Babylonian method is a way of approximating square roots of numbers \[ x_{n+1} = \frac{1}{2}(x_{n} +\frac{S}{x_{n}}) \] Where S is the number under the square root and x_n is our first guess. \\ At least, this is what wikipedia tells me. I'm not familiar with this method myself. :P
same here
From what I see, we could possibly just sub in the values...
x_,n+1 ~ 6.5659... nearest hundreth being 6.57
IS that what you need, Zalia?
Imma go then. Good luck, and BATMAN AWAY
lol k bye tim :)
thnk u ^_^
