D. No, both 3.612 and 3.622 are less than 13
Answer:
C. No, both 3.612 and 3.622 are greater than the square root of 13
Explanation:
13 is a prime number and must have a decimal number as its square root and so the square root should be between √9 and √16
Using the Newton Raphson method to estimate the square root of 13 with the formula: ai +1= ai²+n/2ai
We get square root of 13 = 3.6055512
This is the same result we get using a calculator to calculate square root of 13= 3.6055512
