Estimation Rita goes to the mall. If x is the number of items she bought, the expression 18.54x+23 gives the amount she spent in dollars at one store. Then she spent 25 dollars at another store. Find the expression which represents the amount Rita spent at the mall. Then estimate how much Rita spent if she bought 2 items.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount Rita spent is ...

  (18.54x +23) +(25) = 18.54x +48 . . . total spent

__

When x=2, that is approximately ...

  (18.5)(2) + 48 = 37 +48 = (40 -3) +(50 -2) = (40 +50) -(3 +2) = 90 -5 = 85

Rita spent about $85 if she bought 2 items.

Additional comment

Estimation is often done using 1 significant figure. In this case, that would mean rounding the equation to 20x+50, so it would give a value of 90 when x=2.

An additional task when estimating is to estimate the error in the estimate. Here, using 20x+50 has an error of approximately 1.5x+2 (too high), so the error for 2 items will be about (1.5(2)+2) = 5. That is, the estimate of 90 is approximately 5 too high. Even this estimate has a remaining small error of 0.04x (too low).

step-by-step explanation:

we can use this expression to calculate the energy gain as a particle moves with a field or the energy loss as it moves against it. (note that it is also used to define the electron-volt, a unit of energy equal to that gained by an electron as it falls through a pd of 1 v, i.e. w = 1 ev = 1.6 10-19 c 1 v = 1.6 10-19j).in fact this expression is really nothing more than the statement that potential is the potential energy per unit charge. in this case, v= w/qis simply stating that the change in potential energy(or work done) per unit charge is equal to the change in potential (or potential difference), v.student questions: uniform electric fields2electron beamcathode+5 kvanode0 v
