75 > 62
the way I was taught it is that the < and > are alligators and the alligator mouth always opens for the bigger number, because he is hungry
Using this equation, f(3) = 23.
In order to find the value of f(3), we need to take the f(x) equation and put 3 everywhere we see x. Then we follow the order of operations to solve. So, let's start with the original.
f(x) = 2x^2 + 5sqrt(x - 2)
Now place 3 in for each x.
f(3) = 2(3)^2 + 5sqrt(3 - 2)
Now square the 3.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5 sqrt(3 - 2)
Do the subtraction inside of the parenthesis.
f(3) = 2(9) + 5sqrt(1)
Take the square root
f(3) = 2(9) + 5(1)
Multiply.
f(3) = 18 + 5
And add.
f(3) = 23
3,345 divided by 18 is 185.8333....The three goes on forever.
Steps:
Does 18 go into 3? No
Does 18 go into 33? Yes
How many times? 1
33-18= 15, and then you would bring down and keep doing what I did. Hope this helped!
