Answer:

2,160 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Large boxes = 12

Small boxes = 18

Each large box contains 144 pencils . Each small box contains 24 pencils

Total pencil in large boxes = Total large boxes × number of pencils per box

= 12 × 144

= 1,728 pencils

Total pencil in small boxes = Total small boxes × number of pencils per box

= 18 × 24

= 432 pencils

Estimate the total number of of pencils

Total number of pencils = total pencils in large boxes + total pencil in small boxes

= 1,728 pencils + 432 pencils

= 2,160 pencils

It is better to have an underestimate than an overestimate so that you won't disappoint your buyers when they request for a quantity of supply. If it is underestimated; you can meet demand, if it is overestimated; you can't meet demand

Find the first 4 terms in the expansion of ( 1 + x 2 ) 8. Use your answer to find the value of ( 1.01 ) 8
anyanavicka [17]

(1+x^2)^8

=(1+8x^2+8*7/(1*2)x^4+8*7*6/(1*2*3)x^6+8*7*6*5/(1*2*3*4)x^8+....)

=1+8x^2+28x^4+56x^6+70x^8+....)

For x<1, higher power terms diminish in value, hence we can approximate powers of numbers.

1.01=(1+0.1^2) => x=0.1 in the above expansion

(1.01)^8

=1+8(0.1^2)+28(0.1^4)+56(0.1^6) [ limited to four terms, as requested]

=1+0.08+0.0028+0.000056 (+0.00000070)

=1.082856 (approximately)
