Task: Evaluate each algebraic expression to complete the data list for Space Shuttle Endeavour’s STS-47 mission. 1) Evaluate 8a3 + 5b2 mission in pounds with
– 80c – 121
– 80c – 121
a = 30,
for the Launch Weight of Space Shuttle Endeavour’s STS-47 b = 100, c = 90.
8a3 + 5b2
= 8 x( 30)3 + 5 x ( 100 )2 – 80 x (90) – 121 apply substitution and PEMDAS =
=
=
=
=
=
Launch Weight: Pounds
2) Evaluate 2X2 + 6Y – 2 for the Mission Duration of Space Shuttle Endeavour’s STS-47 mission in hours with X = 9, Y = 5. Show all your work!
2X2 + 6Y – 2 =
Convert total hours to days and hours:
Mission Duration: days, hours, 30 minutes, 23 seconds
3) Evaluate 3m6 + 480n2 for the Miles Traveled of Space Shuttle Endeavour’s STS-47 mission with m = 10 and n = 25. Show all your work!
3m6 + 480n2 =
Miles Traveled: miles or million miles
