Video Definition 41--Equation Concepts--Approximately Equal To

Topic

Equations

Description

The Approximately Equal To Sign (≈) indicates that two expressions are close in value but not equal. Examples include estimating sums (58 + 49 ≈ 100), square roots (√50 ≈ 7), and function values (f(x) ≈ 25). This term relates to the topic by introducing estimation techniques, valuable for checking solutions or simplifying problems.
