Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking? We need to estimate the value of each of these square root and pi expressions, rounding them to the nearest integer! Watch out! Don't forget to simplify the expressions *before* estimating the irrational numbers, otherwise things could get tricky!

STEP 3
Let's **start** with .
First, we can **simplify** to and to because and .
So, we have , which becomes .
Adding those together gives us !
That was easy!
STEP 4
Next up is .
The negatives **cancel out** since a negative divided by a negative is a positive, leaving us with .
Since and are very close, this fraction is approximately .
STEP 5
Now for .
We can **add** the terms in the numerator: .
So, the expression becomes .
Since the numerator and denominator are the same, the whole thing **equals** !
STEP 6
Let's **tackle** .
The threes **cancel out**, leaving us with .
We know that is approximately and is a little bigger than , since .
So, we have roughly , which is approximately .
STEP 7
Finally, we have .
We can **simplify** to .
This gives us , which simplifies further to .
This also **equals** !
