3(-1)^5 + 27 / 9*11 - 5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

PEMDAS

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first simplify Parenthesis

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

3(-1)^5 + 27 / 9*11 - 5 3(-1) + 27/9*11-5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

-3 + 27/9*11-5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can you do the rest... .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with the whole ( ) thing

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its okay

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just follow PEMDAS rule

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Parenthesis: () Exponent : ^ Mul/Div : x / A/S : + -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but i dont know what (-1)^5 is

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

here, power is 5 right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and its odd number yu see ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the ( )

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope, in the tops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what tops

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

in the tops, if its odd, the result becomes odd, yu can see it here : (-1)^5 = -1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1 = -1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i mean the result becomes negative...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so, (-1)^5 = -1 yu okay wid this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

rest fo the stuff is simple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

3(-1)^5 + 27 / 9*11 - 5 3(-1) + 27/9*11 - 5 -3 + 3*11-5 -3 + 33-5 30-5 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but dont you have to divide 27 by 99

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

very good question! answer is no, becoz :

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

we follow PEMDAS + another rule

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

another rule, says us to DO operations from LEFT to RIGHT

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if you move from LEFT, which one comes first ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i am left with -3 +27/99-55 what do i do

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

no thats not right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

go step by step pls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

after simplifying exponent, we have 3(-1) + 27/9*11 - 5 right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets make a small move : simplify paranthesis

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it becomes : -3 + 27/9*11 - 5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okay ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its minus 55 though at the end

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okay so it wud be like this eh ? -3 + 27/9*11 - 55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the answer is -25 right?????

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats right! gw ;D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay finally (:

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

great job !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
