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

neonofarm [45]2 years ago

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.

The parametric equations x = x1 + (x2 − x1)t, y = y1 + (y2 − y1)t where 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 describe the line segment that joins the point
Ulleksa [173]

It is a bit tedious to write 6 equations, but it is a straightforward process to substitute the given point values into the form provided.


For segment ab. (x1, y1) = (1, 1); (x2, y2) = (3, 4).

... x = 1 + t(3-1)

... y = 1 + t(4-1)

ab = {x=1+2t, y=1+3t}


For segment bc. (x1, y1) = (3, 4); (x2, y2) = (1, 7).

... x = 3 + t(1-3)

... y = 4 + t(7-4)

bc = {x=3-2t, y=4+3t}


For segment ca. (x1, y1) = (1, 7); (x2, y2) = (1, 1).

... x = 1 + t(1-1)

... y = 7 + t(1-7)

ca = {x=1, y=7-6t}
