    Approximations of square roots

    If: \sqrt{\alpha} < \sqrt{x} < \sqrt{\beta} Then: \sqrt{x} \approx \sqrt{\alpha} + \frac{x-\alpha}{\beta-\alpha} I've brought this up a long time ago, but I just remembered it so I thought I'd make a thread to see if this actually leads to anything more. Background info: basically I was...

    Australian Maths Competition 2012 Thoughts

    How did everyone go? I found the first 18 questions to be pretty straight forward, but 19 and 20 were challenging. Question 21-24 I just guessed, but I ended up getting questions 25, 26, and 29 right (I think), so I'm pretty happy with that.
