<h3>Answer: Exponents is done first (evaluate $3^2$ first)</h3>

Explanation:

The acronym PEMDAS helps determine the order of operations

P = parenthesis

E = exponents

M = multiplication

D = division

A = addition

S = subtraction

With the expression $3^2+2$ we have two operations going on here: exponents and addition.

Since exponents comes before addition (E comes before A in PEMDAS), this means we evaluate $3^2$ first, then add later.

Answer:

You should calculate 3² first.

Step-by-step explanation:

In PEMDAS, E (which stands for exponents) comes before A (which stands for addition) so therefore you should calculate 3² first.

$a_1=2;\ r=-\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\a_2=a_1r\to a_2=2\cdot\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=-3\\\\a_3=a_2r\to a_3=-3\cdot\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=\dfrac{9}{2}\\\\a_4=a_3r\to a_4=\dfrac{9}{2}\cdot\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=-\dfrac{27}{4}\\\\a_5=a_4r\to a_5=-\dfrac{27}{4}\cdot\left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=\dfrac{81}{8}$
