Which list shows the order of operations that should be performed to simply the expression (3 - 1)3 2 + 1?
a. Subtraction, Exponent, Multiplication, Addition b. Exponent, Multiplication, Subtraction, Addition c. Exponent, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction d. Subtraction, Exponent, Addition, Multiplication
D??
parentheses first so d right?
the 3 after the parentheses is the exponent
Is there a sign missing between the two?
PEMDAS Parentheses Exponent Multiplication/Division Addition/Subtraction
(3-1)3 <---exponent 2+ 1
so d right? o:
No the Exponent is first
but it is not in the parentheses
and the parentheses are first
Can you type what the equation looks like with the equation button? I agree with @MathLegend it looks like there is a sign missing
\[(3-1) ^{3} 2+1\]
3-1)^3 __2+1 What sign goes in that space?
nothing it says
Multiply I believe but it says nothing its just spaced
are there any answer choices?
a. Subtraction, Exponent, Multiplication, Addition b. Exponent, Multiplication, Subtraction, Addition c. Exponent, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction d. Subtraction, Exponent, Addition, Multiplication
Maybe it is supposed to be like subtract the parentheses. do the exponent. multiply the 2+1 by what is in the parentheses?
\[(3-1)^{3} 2+1\]
Since it is touching that means multiply. So it is not D.
Your only other option is?
