Answer:
- multiplying a multi-digit number by itself several times (finding the power of a number)
- finding a square root
- statistical calculations
Step-by-step explanation:
We don't know what your introduction tells you, but the above-listed operations are ones I choose to use a calculator for. I also use a calculator for ordinary arithmetic, such as division by numbers with 2 digits or more. (It is simply faster and requires no scratch paper.)
If statistical calculations are not done with a calculator, they at least require the availability of suitable tables.
___
All of these operations can be done by hand without a calculator, and were in times passed. Lifetimes of effort were involved in generating some of the original math tables for statistics, trig, logarithms, and other functions readily evaluated using a modern calculator.
Answer: Deshi will have 302 marbles and Elaheh will have 519.
Step-by-step explanation:
Deshi's Marbles will subtract 125.
427 - 125 = 302.
Elaheh's Marbles will add 125.
394 + 125= 519.
Answer:
6.14125(0.15) = 0.9211875 (below 1)
6.14125 - 0.92118 = 5.22007
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
1. 10(.15)=1.5
2. 10-1.5=8.5
3. 8.5 (.15)=1.275
4. 8.5-1.275=7.225
continuation the sequence
5) 7.225 (0.15) = 1.08375
6) 7.225 - 1.08375 = 6.14125
7) <u> 6.14125(0.15) = 0.9211875 (below -one)</u>
8 ) <u> 6.14125 - 0.9211875 = 5.2200625 (get number 5)</u>
9) 5.2200625(0.15) = 0.783009
10) 5.2200625 - 0.783009 = 4.4370532
Recall that A = 1/2bh.
We are given that h = 4+2b
So, putting it all together:
168 = 1/2 b(4+2b)
168 = 1/2(4b + 2b^2)
168 = 2b + b^2
b^2 + 2b - 168 = 0.
Something that multiplies to -168 and adds to 2? There's a trick to this.
Notice 13^2 = 169. So, it's more than likely in the middle of the two numbers we're trying to find. So let's try 12 and 14. Yep. 12 x 14 = 168. So this factors into (b+14)(b-12) So b = -14 or b =12. Is it possible to have a negative length on a base? No. So 12 must be our answer.
Let's check this. If 12 is our base, then according to our problem, 2*12 + 4 would be our height... or 28. so what is 12 * 28 /2?
196. Check.
Hope this helped!
