Answer 2

PEMDAS

Answer 3

Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication and Division left to right, Addition and Subtraction left to right

Answer 4

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

Answer 5

Right

Answer 6

So start with parenthesis

Answer 7

4 * 6 = 24

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

Essentially exponents (not scientific notation) works like this

3^2 = 3 * 3
3 times 3 for a total of two times

3^3 = 3 * 3 * 3
3^4 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3

Do you see how it works?

Answer 10

Yeah but the negatives are like 3^-1

Answer 11

Now when you have the negative number in the exponent (that's what that tiny number on top is called) you have to do a flip

2^(-1)
-1 is the exponent
2 is the base

2^-1 = 1/(2^1)

2^(-2) = 1/(2^2)

Answer 12

Use latex

Answer 13

So basically what you do when you have a negative is that you make it a fraction with 1 on top and put the thing on the bottom with a positive exponent

Answer 14

I would but I'm too lazy to do it

Answer 15

What's latex?

Answer 16

\(\LaTeX\)

Answer 17

\(\Large \sf \color{red}{a}^{\color{blue}{b}}\)

a is the base
b is the exponent

Answer 18

Okay

Answer 19

\(\Large \sf a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a^b}\)

Answer 21

OHHHH

Answer 22

Do you see how the negative goes away and that piece goes in the denominator

Answer 23

Yeah

Answer 24

Yeah

Answer 25

Then you're all set

Answer 26

\[3^{-1} = \frac{ 1 }{ 3^{1} }?\]

Answer 27

bingo

Answer 28

So just put that in the box?

Answer 29

Well multiply all the stuff and follow pemdas and simplify it down

Answer 30

\[0.999999999999\]

Answer 31

Right?

Answer 32

Uhhhhhh don't convert the fractions in to a decimal
Just leave them as a fraction and you'll get a nice number that's correct

but for now just round that number to the nearest whole number to get the correct answer
0.999999 isn't really correct but bc you made it into a decimal you got that nice long repeating decimal

Answer 33

So what is it?

Answer 34

think of wha he said west

Answer 35

Are you kidding me

Answer 36

For now, just round \( 0.\overline{999}\) to the nearest whole number

Answer 37

No asking for answers ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
