Which list shows the order of operations that should be performed to simply the expression (3 - 1)3 • 2 + 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. Subtraction, Exponent, Multiplication, Addition b. Exponent, Multiplication, Subtraction, Addition c. Exponent, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction d. Subtraction, Exponent, Addition, Multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

parentheses first so d right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 3 after the parentheses is the exponent

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Is there a sign missing between the two?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

PEMDAS Parentheses Exponent Multiplication/Division Addition/Subtraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3-1)3 <---exponent 2+ 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d right? o:

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

No the Exponent is first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it is not in the parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the parentheses are first

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Can you type what the equation looks like with the equation button? I agree with @MathLegend it looks like there is a sign missing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(3-1) ^{3} 2+1\]

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

3-1)^3 __2+1 What sign goes in that space?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nothing it says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply I believe but it says nothing its just spaced

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

are there any answer choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. Subtraction, Exponent, Multiplication, Addition b. Exponent, Multiplication, Subtraction, Addition c. Exponent, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction d. Subtraction, Exponent, Addition, Multiplication

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Maybe it is supposed to be like subtract the parentheses. do the exponent. multiply the 2+1 by what is in the parentheses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(3-1)^{3} 2+1\]

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Since it is touching that means multiply. So it is not D.

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Your only other option is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes
