Give two examples that show how using parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression

Yes, parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression.

Let us understand this with two examples.

First example.

Let us suppose we have to simplify the expression

2\cdot (5-3)\\
=2\cdot 2\\
=4

In this expression we have evaluated subtraction first instead of multiply.

Second example.

Let us suppose we have to simplify the expression

(5\cdot 2)- 3\\
=10-3\\
=7

In this expression we have evaluated multiplication first and then subtraction.

Therefore, from above two examples we can see that  parentheses can change the order in which operations are performed in an expression.

What is the following product
dangina [55]

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve: \sqrt[3]{x^2}\sqrt[4]{x^3}

We know that: \sqrt[n]{x}\sqrt[b]{x} =\sqrt[n*b]{x.x}= \sqrt[n*b]{x^2}

Applying the above rule:

\sqrt[3]{x^2}\sqrt[4]{x^3}\\=\sqrt[3*4]{x^2.x^3}\\=\sqrt[12]{x^5}

So, Option B is correct.

Is 14/950 more or less than 1/2 and why!
qwelly [4]
Well because 14 is nowhere near half of 950 (which is 475), 1/2 is bigger. I hope this helped.

What number should be added to 95 to get a sum of −21?
Natali [406]

Answer: -116

Step-by-step explanation: Since negative numbers are involved, the best way to solve this is add 95 and POSITIVE 21. This gives you 116. Since you move from a positive to a negative, the 116 needs to be negative
