how do I evaluate the function 3x^2/3 -2 at -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug -1 in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So will it then become y= 3(-1^2/3) -2 OR y=-4^2/3 -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because of order of operations, you should first raise the -1 to the exponent and then multiply by 3 and then subtract 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do evalute 2^5/2 – 2^3/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or actually, what I said is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to do order of operations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so first you do everything in parentheses (which there are none) then exponents then multiplication and division then addition and subtraction

thanks..makes perfect sense!
