Understanding Order of Operations

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate a mathematical expression using the order of operations, commonly known as PEMDAS. It outlines the steps: simplifying inside parentheses, handling exponents, performing multiplication and division from left to right, and finally, adding and subtracting from left to right. The tutorial then applies these steps to a specific expression, demonstrating the process and arriving at the final result.

What is the first step in evaluating a mathematical expression according to PEMDAS?

• Simplify exponents

• Multiply and divide from left to right

• Simplify inside parentheses

• Add and subtract from left to right

Which operation should be performed after simplifying exponents in an expression?

• Evaluate the entire expression

• Simplify inside parentheses

• Multiply and divide from left to right

• Add and subtract from left to right

In the order of operations, what comes after multiplication and division?

• Adding and subtracting from left to right

• Simplifying exponents

• Re-evaluating the expression

• Simplifying inside parentheses

What is the result of multiplying 6 by 0 in the given expression?

• Undefined

• 6

• 0

• 18

What is the final result of the expression after applying the order of operations?

• 0

• 6

• 24

• 18
