Explain how to estimate 586 - 321 two different ways

1 answer:

5 0

To estimate 586 - 321, you can round the numbers up or down to the nearest five.
586 can either become 570, rounding up, or 585, rounding down, which is closer. 321 becomes 320. It's not close enough to 325, nor to 315, for either of those to be good choices. 570 - 320 = 250 and 585 - 320 = 265. The actual solution to the original problem is 265, so, the second estimate, because they both go down by 1, is the closest.

The following integral requires a preliminary step such as long division or a change of variables before using the method of par

shtirl [24]

Division yields

$\dfrac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x} = x-\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x^3+2x}$

Now for partial fractions: you're looking for constants a, b, and c such that

$\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = \dfrac ax + \dfrac{bx+c}{x^2+2}$

$\implies 2x^2 - 7 = a(x^2+2) + (bx+c)x = (a+b)x^2+cx + 2a$

which gives a + b = 2, c = 0, and 2a = -7, so that a = -7/2 and b = 11/2. Then

$\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = -\dfrac7{2x} + \dfrac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}$

Now, in the integral we get

$\displaystyle\int\frac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x}\,\mathrm dx = \int\left(x+\frac7{2x} - \frac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}\right)\,\mathrm dx$

The first two terms are trivial to integrate. For the third, substitute y = x ² + 2 and dy = 2x dx to get

$\displaystyle \int x\,\mathrm dx + \frac72\int\frac{\mathrm dx}x - \frac{11}4 \int\frac{\mathrm dy}y \\\\ =\displaystyle \frac{x^2}2+\frac72\ln|x|-\frac{11}4\ln|y| + C \\\\ =\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{x^2}2 + \frac72\ln|x| - \frac{11}4 \ln(x^2+2) + C}$

Can you please help me with this 4/5-2/3

ki77a [65]

If you cross multiply so you times the denominators together to get 15 and then times 4 by 3 and 2 by 5 to get the numerators so the question would be: 12/15-10/15 = 2/15

You need to re-look at number

9. The car went 4 meters in 4 seconds, so the speed would be 1 meter/sec.

10. To get an average you have to take all 3 data entries and add them together then divide by 3 (the amount of entries). In this one, they were trying to be a little tricky by saying 2 hours at 40 km each. The total is 3 hours, so we'll divide by 3 to get km/hour. Let's do it!

80 + 40 + 40 = 160
160/3 = 53 1/3 km/hour
