Can someone please walk me through this? Solve: 2x^3 When x=6
order of operations, exponents first 2 x (6)^3 means 2 x 6 x 6 x 6 multiplaction is commutative
your answer is 432
2(6)^3 2 (6*6*6)
now plug it in ur calc
Why is the 2 there though? It isn't like 2(6)=12, 12x12x12?
no multiplications does not get distributed
BEDMAS apply brackets, then exponents, division, multiplication and finally division and subtraction therefore calculate the exponent first which is 6^3 then multiply by 2
correction addtion and subtraction
thought if it's 2(6*6*6)---same as---> 2*6*6*6
BEDMAS??? I don't know that one...only GERMDAS and PEMDAS......
2(6)^3 =2(216) =432
So...the 2 is separate from the 3, 6's?
no we just like to do exponents first
always do BRACKETS FIRST THEN EXPONENTS THEN MULTIPLICATION OR DIVISION THEN SUBTRACTION OR ADDITION<-- wasnt shouting just caps lock on
That's a rule then, Hahd? Wait, who uses that? I've never heard of it before.
Ok, thank you then?????? Um, I'll move on to another question on the left...... Thank's yo!!!! xD
