How can estimating the quotient help you check that your answer to a division problem is reasonable?​

Mathematics
1 answer:
neonofarm [45]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

If your actual answer is very far from your estimate, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

50 years ago, when a slide rule was the only available calculation tool, making an estimate of the result was a required part of doing the calculation. Not only were the first one or two significant digits needed, but also the power of 10 that multiplied them. Use of a slide rule required the order of magnitude be computed separately (by hand) from the significant digits of the result.

__

You may also find it useful to estimate the error in your estimate. That is, you may want to know the approximate answer to 2 (or more) significant digits in order to gain confidence that your calculation is correct.

Explain why multiplying two irrational numbers could result in either an irrational number or a rational number.
Nimfa-mama [501]
Because if you multiply 2 different irrational numbers (like the following)
\sqrt{3} \times  \sqrt{17}
You will get an irrational answer.

BUT
if you multiply the same square root (which are both irrational, you get a rational number)

\sqrt{3}  \times  \sqrt{3}  = 3

Triangle ABC is reflected across the line y=2x to map onto triangle RST. Select all statements that are true.
Anettt [7]

The reflection transformation in the question is a rigid transformation,

therefore, the image and the preimage are congruent.

The statements that are true are;

  • <u>AB = RS</u>
  • <u>∠ABC ~ ∠RST</u>
  • <u>ΔABC = ΔRST</u>
  • <u>m∠BAC = m∠SRT</u>

Reasons:

The given parameter are;

Triangle ΔABC is reflected across the line 2·X, to map onto triangle ΔRST

Required:

To select the true statements

Solution:

A reflection is a rigid transformation, therefore, the distance between corresponding points on the image and the preimage are equal.

Therefore;

AB = RS

BC = ST

AC = RT

Given that the image formed by a reflection is congruent to the preimage, we have;

ΔABC ≅ ΔRST

∠ABC ≅ ∠RST

m∠ABC = m∠RST by the definition of congruency

∠BCA ≅ ∠STR

m∠BCA = m∠STR by the definition of congruency

∠BAC ≅ ∠SRT

m∠BAC = m∠SRT by the definition of congruency

Therefore, the true statements are;

  • <u>AB = RS</u>; Image formed by rigid transformation
  • <u>∠ABC ~ ∠RST</u>; Definition of similarity
  • <u>ΔABC = ΔRST</u>; By definition of congruency
  • <u>m∠BAC = m∠SRT</u>; by the definition of congruency
