Answer:

3 * 10^6 if the answer is 3.64 * 10^6, you really ought to argue the meaning of estimate with your instructor.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very valuable question. Put your calculator away when you answer it. Using a calculator is sort of cheating.

1.3 * 10^3 roughly is roughly 1 * 10^3

2.8*10^3 hours is roughly 3 * 10^3

Forget the powers for now and just work with the 1 and 3

1*3 equals 3.

10^3 * 10^3 = 10^6 when the base of two numbers is the same (10 in this case) then the powers are added.

10^(3 + 3) = 10^6

So the answer is roughly 3*10^6

Now you can take out your calculator and get the answer.

1.3*10^3 * 2.8 * 10^3 = 3.64 * 10 ^ 6

Notice that the estimate (done in my head) is close enough to tell you what the answer should be. On a test, that's a very handy skill.

NARA [144]

Answer:

Avoid Using too many statistics

Step-by-step explanation:

when a speaker is giving a speech, the listeners prefer main points to hearing too much of statistics. Too many statistics bore the audience and sometimes divert their attentions from the crux of the speech. If statistics are to be given, they must be clearly expressed and the source should be clearly stated.

Numbers that are of large decimal points can be rounded off so as not to confuse the audience and to make them grasp the main idea.

What is the factored form of x^2 - 4x - 5?
ser-zykov [4K]

we are given

x^2-4x-5

we can use formula

x^2-(a+b)x+ab=(x-a)(x-b)

so, we have

a+b=4

ab=-5

now, we can solve for a and b

and we get

a=5, b=-1

now, we can plug it in formula

x^2-4x-5=(x-5)(x+1) ............Answer
