Rounding is the act of replacing a number with values that are an approximation.

  • can be used to create simpler, or more explicit answers

Basic rounding rules:

1. If the number you are rounding is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, round the number up. Example: 68 rounded to 1 significant figure would be 70.

2. If the number you are rounding is followed by 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, round the number down. Example: 13 rounded to 1 significant fugue is 10.

3. Zero digits that come after a non zero digit are non significant. Example: 10000 only has 1 significant figure

Calculations:

A) 78 x 92 = 7176

  • to round to 1 sig fig we must make all digits after 7 insignificant
  • we must also take note of whether the 7 will remain the same or be rounded up
  • the digit that comes after is a 1, following the rules of rounding it will remain a 7

The answer for A is 7000

B) 615 x 38 = 23370

  • all digits after 2 must be insignificant
  • the digit that comes after is a 3,  following the rules of rounding the 2 will remain a 2

Answer for B is 20000

C) 423 x 764 = 323172

  • all digits after 3 must be insignificant
  • the digit that comes after is a 2, following the rules of rounding the 3 will remain a 3

Answer for C is 300000

Indicate the answer choice that best completes the statement or answers
zysi [14]

Answer:

Option D. y = 5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Input (x) >>>>>> Output (y)

0 >>>>>>>>>>>> 1

1 >>>>>>>>>>>> 6

2 >>>>>>>>>>>> 11

3 >>>>>>>>>>>> 16

4 >>>>>>>>>>>> 21

To know the the correct answer to the question, we shall apply the equation given in each option to see which will satisfy the table. This can be obtained as follow:

For Option a

y = 3x + 3

x = 0

y = 3(0) + 3

y = 0 + 3

y = 0

y = 3x + 3

x = 1

y = 3(1) + 3

y = 3 + 3

y = 6

For Option b

y = 5x – 4

x = 0

y = 5(0) – 4

y = 0 – 4

y = – 4

y = 5x – 4

x = 1

y = 5(1) – 4

y = 5 – 4

y = 1

For Option c

y = 10x – 9

x = 0

y = 10(0) – 9

y = 0 – 9

y = – 9

y = 10x – 9

x = 1

y = 10(1) – 9

y = 10 – 9

y = 1

For Option d

y = 5x + 1

x = 0

y = 5(0) + 1

y = 0 + 1

y = 1

y = 5x + 1

x = 1

y = 5(1) + 1

y = 5 + 1

y = 6

From the illustrations made above, only option d satisfy the table. Thus, option d gives the correct answer to the question.

Expand. Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form. (x2+4)(x2−6)=(x^2+4)(x^2-6)=(x2+4)(x2−6)=
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

x^4 -2x^2 -24

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2+4)(x^2−6)

FOIL

First: x^2*x^2 = x^4

Outer: x^2 *-6 = -6x^2

Inner: x^2 *4 = 4x^2

Last: 4*-6 = -24

Add them together

x^4 -6x^2 +4x^2 -24

Combine like terms

x^4 -2x^2 -24

This is in standard form since the powers decrease

An angle of measure 120 degrees intersects the unit circle at point (-1/2,√3/2) What is the exact value of cos(120)
notka56 [123]

The exact value of cos120 if the measure 120 degrees intersects the unit circle at point (-1/2,√3/2) is 0.5

<h3>Solving trigonometry identity</h3>

If an angle of measure 120 degrees intersects the unit circle at point (-1/2,√3/2), the measure of cos(120) can be expressed as;

Cos120 = cos(90 + 30)

Using the cosine rule of addition

cos(90 + 30) = cos90cos30 - sin90sin30

cos(90 + 30) = 0(√3/2) - 1(0.5)

cos(90 + 30) = 0 - 0.5

cos(90 + 30) = 0.5

Hence the exact value of cos120 if the measure 120 degrees intersects the unit circle at point (-1/2,√3/2) is 0.5

What is the factored form of k² + kf – 2f²?
ella [17]
You can factor this by grouping! We will need to group the trinomial into the expression (k^2 + k)(-2f^2 + f). Now factor from THOSE. k(k + 1)f(-2f + 1).
