Round the number 347500 to the nearest 1000

348000

Step-by-step explanation:

The place you want to round to is the thousands place. The place to the right of that is the hundreds place. If the digit in the hundreds place is 5 or more (and it is), then the rounded number will have 1 added to its thousands digit.

After making that adjustment (if necessary), all digits to the right (hundreds, tens, ones, and so on) will be set to zero.

Comment on rounding

Various rounding schemes are in use. The one described above is the one usually taught in school. In real life, it has the disadvantage that it can add a bias to a set of numbers, making their total come out higher than desired. In order to counter that, a "round to even" rule is sometimes used.

In this problem, that would mean the thousands digit would only be changed on the condition it would be changed to an even digit. (Here, that rule would give the same result. The number 346500 would be rounded down to 346000, for example.)

Various spreadsheets and computer programs implement different rounding schemes, depending on the application and the amount of bias that is tolerable. So, you may run across one that seems to be "wrong" according to what you learned in school.

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
