Chapter 1, Problem 8PP

The Babylonian algorithm to compute the square root of a positive number n is as follows:

  1. Make a guess at the answer (you can pick n/2 as your initial guess).
  2. Compute r = n / guess
  3. Set guess = ( guess + r ) / 2.
  4. Go back to step 2 for as many iterations as necessary. The more steps 2 and 3 are repeated, the closer guess will become to the square root of n.

Write a program that inputs a double for n, iterates through the Babylonian algorithm five times, and outputs the answer as a double to two decimal places. Your answer will be most accurate for small values of n.

Please show the code for the Tikz figure of the complex plane and the curve C. Also, mark all singularities of the integrand.
11. Go to the Webinars worksheet. DeShawn wants to determine the number of webinars the company can hold on Tuesdays and Thursdays to make the highest weekly profit without interfering with consultations, which are also scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays and use the same resources. Use Solver to find this information as follows: a. Use Total weekly profit as the objective cell in the Solver model, with the goal of determining the maximum value for that cell. b. Use the number of Tuesday and Thursday sessions for the five programs as the changing variable cells. c. Determine and enter the constraints based on the information provided in Table 3. d. Use Simplex LP as the solving method to find a global optimal solution. e. Save the Solver model below the Maximum weekly profit model label. f. Solve the model, keeping the Solver solution. Table 3: Solver Constraints Constraint Cell or Range Each webinar is scheduled at least once on Tuesday and once on Thursday B4:F5 Each Tuesday and…
