Can somebody please explain the order of operations?

Mathematics
2 answers:
Wewaii [24]3 years ago

Order of Operations:
PEMDAS
P: Parenthesis
E: Exponents
MD: Multiplication/Division
AS: Addition/Subtraction

Remember to do them in order.

E.G: 8(2+3)²-4/2
You do first the parenthesis(2+3), which is 6
Multiply 6 by 6(rule of exponents), which is 36.
Multiply 36 by 8, which is 288.
Divide 288 by 2, which is 144.
Subtract 144-2. It is 142.
Answer:  142

A common techinique for remembering the order of operations is the abbrieviation "PEMDAS", which is turned into the phrase " Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". It stands for " Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction". This tells you the ranks of the operations: Parentheses outrank exponents, which outrank multiplication and division (but multiplication and divison are at the same rank), and these two outrank addition and subtraction (which are together on the bottom rank). When you have a bunch of operations of the same rank, you just operate from left to right.

Find an identity for cos(4t) in terms of cos(t)
mestny [16]
So you can do this multiple ways, I'll do this the way that I think makes sense the l most easily.

Cos (0) = 1
Cos (pi/2)=0
Cos (pi) =-1
Cos (3pi/2)=0
Cos (2pi)=1

Now if you multiply the inside by 4, the graph oscillates more violently (goes up and down more in a shorter period).
But you can always reduce it.
Cos (0)= 1
Cos (4pi/2) = cos (2pi)=1
Cos (4pi) =Cos (2pi) =1 (Any multiple of 2pi ==1)
etc...
the pattern is that every half pi increase is now a full period as apposed to just a quarter of one. That's in theory.

Now that you know that, the identities of Cosine are another beast, but mathematically.
You have.

Cos (2×2t) = Cos^2 (2t)-Sin^2 (2t)
Sin^2 (t)=-Cos^2 (t)+1..... (all A^2+B^2=C^2)
Cos (2×2t) = Cos^2 (t)-(-Cos^2 (t)+1)
Cos (2×2t)= 2Cos^2 (2t) - 1

2Cos^2 (2t) -1= 2 (Cos^2(t)-Sin^2(t))^2 -1
(same thing as above but done twice because it's cos ^2 now)
convert sin^2
2Cos^2 (2t)-1 =2 (Cos^2 (t)+Cos^2 (t)-1)^2 -1
2 (2Cos^2(t)-1)^2 -1
2 (2Cos^2 (t)-1)(2Cos^2 (t)-1)-1
2 (4Cos^4 (t) - 2 (2Cos^2 (t))+1)-1
Distribute

8Cos^4 (t) -8Cos^2 (t) +1

Cos (4t) =8Cos^4-8Cos^2 (t)+-1

Emma goes miniature golfing. She pays $7.50 for an admission ticket and $6.25 for each round she golfs. The total amount Emma pa
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The equation that can be used to determine the number of rounds that Emma golfs is:

x=(c-7.50)/6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the total amount Emma pays to go miniature golfing is equal to the price of the admission ticket plus the result of multiplying the price per round of golf for the number of rounds and according to this, the equation would be:

c=7.50+6.25x, where:

c is the total cost for Emma to go miniature golfing

x is the number of rounds

Now, you can solve for x to determine the equation that can be used to find the number of rounds that Emma golfs:

x=(c-7.50)/6.25

You can replace c with 26.25:

x=(26.25-7.50)/6.25

x=18.75/6.25

x=3

determine whether AB and CD are parallel, perpendicular,or neither. A(-1,-4), B(2,11), C(1,1), D(4,10)
sergiy2304 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

the x distance from A to B is 3 (from -1 to 2), and the y distance is 15 (from -4 to 11).

the x distance from C to D is also 3 (from 1 to 4), but the y distance is 9 (from 1 to 10).

so, the slopes are different

AB : 15/3 = 5

CD : 9/3 = 3

and the lines are therefore not parallel.

perpendicular slopes are simply inverting y and x in the ratio and flip the sign (from - to + and vice versa). but that is not the case here either (just to start - both slopes are positive).

so, the 2 lines are "neither".
