Answer 17

No your right

Answer 18

It is 9

Answer 19

Add: 7 + 1 = 8
Exponentiation: the result of step No. 1 ^ 2 = 8 ^ 2 = 64
Divide: the result of step No. 2 / 4 = 64 / 4 = 16
Exponentiation: 1/
2
^ 4 = 14/
24
= 1/
16


In words - one half to four = one sixteenth.
Multiple: the result of step No. 3 * the result of step No. 4 = 16 * 1/
16
= 16 · 1/
1 · 16
= 16/
16
= 1 · 16/
1 · 16
= 1
Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(16, 16) = 16. In the next intermediate step , cancel by a common factor of 16 gives 1/
1
.
In words - sixteen multiplied by one sixteenth = one.
Add: 8 + the result of step No. 5 = 8 + 1 = 9
