SF- 6S- Order of Operations with Exponents

Front

What is the Order of Operations?

Back

The Order of Operations is a set of rules that determines the sequence in which calculations are performed in a mathematical expression. The acronym PEMDAS helps remember the order: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

What does 'exponent' mean in mathematics?

Back

An exponent is a number that indicates how many times to multiply a base number by itself. For example, in 2^3, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent, meaning 2 x 2 x 2.

Calculate: 5 + 2 x 3

Back

11 (According to the Order of Operations, multiplication is done before addition.)

Front

What is 4 squared?

Back

16 (4 squared means 4 x 4.)

Front

Evaluate: 3 + (6 ÷ 2) x 4

Back

15 (First, divide 6 by 2, then multiply by 4, and finally add 3.)

Front

What is the value of 10 - 2^2?

Back

6 (2^2 equals 4, so 10 - 4 equals 6.)

Front

Solve: 8 + 2 x (3 + 1)

Back

12 (First, solve the parentheses, then multiply, and finally add.)

Front

What is the result of 7 - 3 + 2?

Back

6 (Perform the operations from left to right.)

Front

Calculate: 2^3 + 4 x 2

Back

12 (2^3 equals 8, and 4 x 2 equals 8, so 8 + 8 equals 12.)

What does it mean to simplify an expression?

Back

To simplify an expression means to reduce it to its simplest form by performing all possible calculations.
