Practice Problems

You will see in your textbook the calculator icon to indicate which questions should be done with a calculator.
I would strongly encourage you to do as many questions as you can WITHOUT a calculator to practice your decimal evaluation skills.

Notes

Question 4,   NOTE!!
There isn’t a lot of value in doing this question by simply typing it into your calculator and getting the answer.
(assuming your calculator has brackets, etc.)
The value in doing this problem is DOCUMENTING your steps, and using your calculator for the INTERMEDIATE STEPS, as needed.
That will be how I will do the question.

Video Solution Links
