Part A: Explain what the missing expression should be for Step 2. (2 points)

Part B: Explain what the missing expression should be for Step 6. (2 points)


Step 1 the quantity of the sum of six squared plus two divided by the absolute value of negative 0.5 − 14.8 ÷ 8
Step 2
Step 3 the quantity of the sum of thirty six plus two divided by 0.5 − 14.8 ÷ 8
Step 4 the quantity thirty eight divided by 0.5 − 14.8 ÷ 8
Step 5 76 − 14.8 ÷ 8
Step 6
Step 7 74.15

Answer 1

Applying the absolute value and precedence of operations, it is found that:

a) The missing expression for step 2 is: (36 + 2)/0.5 = − 14.8 ÷ 8.

b) The missing expression for step 6 is 76 - 1.85.

What is the absolute value function?

The absolute function is defined by:

• |x| = x, x ≥ 0.

• |x| = -x, x < 0.

It measures the distance of a point x to the origin, hence |0.5| = |-0.5| = 0.5.

In Step 2, we just have to apply property to |-0.5, hence the missing expression for step 2 is: (36 + 2)/0.5 = − 14.8 ÷ 8.

What is the precedence of operations in Step 6?

The division happens before the multiplication, hence the missing expression for step 6 is 76 - 1.85.
