Chapter 3, Problem 1PP

(This is a version of Programming Project 2.1 from Chapter 2.) 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 =  n / guess .

3. Set guess = guess + r / 2.

4. Go back to step 2 until the last two guess values are within 1% of each other.

Write a program that inputs a double for n, iterates through the Babylonian algorithm until the guess is within 1% of the previous guess and outputs the answer as a double to two decimal places. Your answer should be accurate even for large values of n.

The equation of a straight line is written as y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is the value of y when x = 0. If there are two coordinate points of the line are given, then it is very easy to compute the line equation. Also you can find the distance between two points. Problem: Write a program to compute lines equation for a set of lines. The number of lines is read from the user. Each line is computed by generating two points randomly using Point2D API. In addition, distance between two points is computed. The program should display a table which include all information about each line. See sample runs below. Take into consideration: 1. Number of generated lines should be greater than zero. 2. Two point objects are constructed only once. Then just update the location of two points for each line using Point2D API methods. 3. x and y values of each point are generated randomly to be less than 100 and greater than 0. 4. Compute the distance between two points using…
A regular polygon is an n-sided polygon in which all sides are of the same length and all angles have the same degree (i.e., the polygon is both equilateral and equiangular). The formula for computing the area of a regular polygon is Area = ( n * s2 ) / (4 * tan( π/n) Here, s is the length of a side. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of sides and their length of a regular polygon and displays its area.
Task 15 Write a Python program that takes a number and tells if it is a perfect number or not. [The input number has to be an INTEGER] Perfect Number: An integer number is said to be a perfect number if its factors, including 1 but not the number itself, sum to the number. Example01: Input: 6 Output: 6 is a perfect number Explanation: 6 have 4 divisors: 1, 2, 3, and 6. If we add all factors except itself, 6 = 1 + 2 + 3.
