<span>How can the order of precedence in this formula, =C12+C13*F4, be changed so that cells C12 and C13 are added together as the first operation that occurs?
We must add a parenthesis.
from: = C12+C13*F4
to: =(C12+C13)*F4
This is the same in Math, the order of operation is PEMDAS
Do first the operation with in the PARENTHESIS, then those that have EXPONENTS, then MULTIPLICATION, then DIVISION, then ADDITION, lastly SUBTRACTION.</span>
If you're talking about MATLAB, the simplify command performs an algebraic simplification within the given parameters in the parenthesis. You can use the command simplify on polynomials, expressions with trigonometric, logarithmic, and special functions. For example the following expression simplify(cos(0)) would return 1.
I know this is a joke, but 21 (:
