Describe a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate makes sense

1 answer:

3 0

If you are trying to create a garden of potted plants, you would find out how much soil each pot needs/holds and multiply that by how many pots you plan to use. then you would go to the store for potting soil, which let’s say came in smaller packs and you need to purchase multiple. use multiplication estimation to estimate how many bags you’d need.
I know this is a dumb example...sorry this is one I remember from my fourth grade math teacher ahah

Please please help me out

Answer: y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in Slope-Intercept format: y = mx + b where

m is the slope (difference in y's over difference in x's)
b is the y-intercept (value of y when x = 0)

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\\\text{Let }(x_1,y_1)=(0,1)\quad \text{and}\quad \text{let }(x_2, y_2)=(1,4)\quad then\\\\m=\dfrac{4-1}{1-0}=\dfrac{3}{1}=3$

b = 1 refer to the table that shows y = 1 when x = 0

Now input m = 3 and b = 1 into the Slope-Intercept formula:

y = 3x + 1

Answer:

Future value of annuity (FV) = $13,782.12 (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Periodic payment p = $500

Interest rate r = 13% = 13%/4 = 0.0325 (Quarterly)

Number of period n = 5 x 4 = 20 quarter

Find:

Future value of annuity (FV)

Computation:

$Future\ value\ of\ annuity\ (FV)=p[\frac{(1+r)^n-1}{r} ] \\\\Future\ value\ of\ annuity\ (FV)=500[\frac{(1+0.0325)^{20}-1}{0.0325} ] \\\\Future\ value\ of\ annuity\ (FV)=13,782.1219 \\\\$

Future value of annuity (FV) = $13,782.12 (Approx)

(A3- 2a2) - ( 3a2- 4a3)

Tanzania [10]

If you would like to calculate (a^3 - 2 * a^2) - (3 * a^2 - 4 * a^3), you can do this using the following steps:

(a^3 - 2 * a^2) - (3 * a^2 - 4 * a^3) = a^3 - 2 * a^2 - 3 * a^2 + 4 * a^3 = 5 * a^3 - 5 * a^2

The correct result would be 5 * a^3 - 5 * a^2.
