To estimate, you should round some of the numbers to the closest number (rounding up or down). It will be more accurate the less you round. In this problem, we should round -5 1/4 to -5 since it is the closest. -5*-3/2 = 7.7. You will end up with -3/2x (-5 1/4) ≈ 7.5x
≈ means approximately equal.
Answer:
there is a 64% chance that the student got both problems wrong
a 32% chance that they got only 1 correct
and a 4% chance that they got both correct
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 25 total possible combinations of answers, with 8 possible combinations where the student would get 1 answer right, and 1 combination where the student would get both answers correct.

Consider the function

, which has derivative

.
The linear approximation of

for some value

within a neighborhood of

is given by

Let

. Then

can be estimated to be

![\sqrt[3]{63.97}\approx4-\dfrac{0.03}{48}=3.999375](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B63.97%7D%5Capprox4-%5Cdfrac%7B0.03%7D%7B48%7D%3D3.999375)
Since

for

, it follows that

must be strictly increasing over that part of its domain, which means the linear approximation lies strictly above the function

. This means the estimated value is an overestimation.
Indeed, the actual value is closer to the number 3.999374902...
Answer:
720,682.92
Step-by-step explanation:
8.5% = 0.085
P(t) = Initial Population * (1 + rate)t
P(t) = 230,000(1 + 0.085)t
P(t) = 230,000(1.085)t
P(14) = 230,000(1.085)14
P(14) = 720,682.82
