Answer 1

The "divide" and "average" method, and old-time method for approximating the square root of any positive number, can be formulated as

`x=((x+a/x))/(2)`

where

`a` is the number whose square root we need to find.

Estimate the error in approximation as

`\varepsilon =\left | (x_(new)-x_(old))/(x_new) \right |`

Repeat this loop until this
`\varepsilon` is less than or equal to the specified value.
