Question

Who knows how to solve with the "Perfect Ratio Method" ???

Answer 1

I don't know..do you have lessons?

Answer 2

Trying to look through my textbook butt I don't see any thing, let me look a little more..

Answer 3

Okay, if you find anything tell me what it says.

Answer 4

oh great.. this again. basically, its asking to find the irrational perfect square of a number.. and it makes no sense

Answer 5

. . .

Answer 6

What?

Answer 7

I know.....hate it!!!

Answer 8

trust me, its complicated. me and her tried, and was off by .01 and it counted it wrong

Answer 9

Lol

Answer 11

@phi @radar

Answer 12

this is the student guide this might help.....

Answer 13

Answer 14

idk, but try 9.42

Answer 15

thats from my text book

Answer 16

That doesn't really help..it just tells you what you're going to do.

Answer 17

Just follow the steps!

Answer 18

oh i get it now

Answer 19

well lets solve it

Answer 20

Someone Help!!!!

Answer 21

ok. so first, we find the 2 numbers that it lays between. so those would be 9^2, or 81, and 10^2,or 100.

Answer 22

seems like a reasonable approach, not sure how you are spose to determine the error tho

Answer 23

ok...

Answer 24

tyler, you got a grasp on this? you seem to be off to a good start :)

Answer 25

next, find the difference between 81 and 89, and 81 and 100 and put it into a fraction... so 89-81=9 and 100-81=19. so put it to this fraction \[\frac{ 9 }{ 19 }\] and then divide \[9\div19\] to get the quotient, which is \[\approx.5\]

Answer 26

ok....what next?

Answer 27

since the distance from 9 to 10 is 1, multiply .5 by 1 to get .5 again. since its between 9^2 and 10^2, you add .5 to 9, which gives you 9.5.

Answer 28

if thats not right, god knows i tried

Answer 29

ok, thanks tyler!!!!!

Answer 30

no problem. let me know if its wrong or right

Answer 31

wait wait wait.. to the nearest 100th would be 9.47

Answer 32

Are you sure because the square root is 9.43

Answer 33

remember it was like -.01

Answer 34

well yea, , the method used it supposed to make it a little off, but im sure its 9.47

Answer 35

theres no indication in the test that would suggest how to determine the error.

unless you are spose to do repeated tries with the 'found' solution as the new end point

Answer 36

Yeah, it is..that way you don't use a calculator :P

Answer 37

There is no indication,

Answer 38

9.5^2 and 10^2

90.25 and 100, difference of 9.75

90.25 and 89 is 1.25

ratio is: .1282

9.5 - .1282 = 9.3718

(9.3718)^2=87.83063524

so we seem to be getting closer

Answer 39

im sure youd still need a calculator with the intermediary calculations .. but then that just seems pointless :/

Answer 40

ok....

Answer 41

look at this,,,,,

Answer 42

my error was i assume an interval of 1 again

Answer 43

for that, find that 3^2=9 and 4^2=16. from 9 to 14, its 5. from 9 to 16, its 7. put 5/7 to approximate that it equals .71. so add .71 to 3. you get 3.71

Answer 44

9 14 16

5 to 7

3+5/7

yall got this

Answer 45

wow i figured it out. yay me lol

Answer 46

so the final answer is....

Answer 47

@tylermcmullen23

Answer 48

for which one??

Answer 49

1st

Answer 50

no, for the sqrt of 89, its 9.47

Answer 51
