Describe order of operation and give an example

Mathematics

ryzh [129]3 years ago

Order of Operation is commonly referred to as PEMDAS, an acronym for "Please excuse my dear aunt Sally," which references the order in which operations should  be calculated when solving a math problem.

P = parentheses

E = exponent

M = multiply

D = divide

A = add

S = subtract

So you don't always have all of these components, but you consider the ones present in the problem in front of you.    If there is no multiplication, but there is division and a set of parentheses, then you FIRST solve what's inside the parentheses, then  you divide.    If you have some examples, I'll show you.

Example is use Order of operations to solve 4•(5-3)+12
First you would do 5-3=2 than 2•4=8 than 12+8=20.

"If a number divided by 4 leaves remainder 2 or 3", then which one is the correct statement 'n why?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

As the number is a prime number. Therefore, option 'c' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take the number 7 and divide it by 4

\frac{7}{4}

We know that

  • Quotient\frac{Remainder}{Divisor}

as

\frac{7}{4}=1\frac{3}{4}

so the remainder is 3.      ∵ Quotient\frac{Remainder}{Divisor}

As 7 is a prime number, and when we divide the prime number 7 by 4, we get the remainder 3.

Thus, the number is a prime number. Therefore, option 'c' is true.

When analyzing three linear functions, Michele noticed that they all intersected at the point (5, 3). What conclusion can Michel
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: option B. it has the highest y-intercept.

Explanation:

1) point -slope equation of the line

y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

2) Replace (x₁, y₁) with the point (5,3):

y - 5 = m (x - 3)

3) Expand using distributive property and simplify:

y - 5 = mx - 3m ⇒ y = mx + 5 - 3m

4) Compare with the slope-intercept equation of the line: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

⇒ slope = m

⇒ b = 5 - 3m = y - intercept.

Therefore, for the same point (5,3), the greater m (the slope of the line) the less b (the y-intercept); and the smaller m (the slope) the greater the y - intercept.

Then, the conclusion is: the linear function with the smallest slope has the highest y-intercept (option B).

Farmer bob's square plot ofland is slowly eroding away. Worried about the future of his farm. Farmer Bob measures the rate of er
kow [346]

Answer:

Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is

A=x^2               .... (1)

where, x is side length.

The length of each side of his square plot is decreasing at the constant rate of 2 feet/year.

\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2

It is given that bob currently owns 250,000 square feet of land.

Fist find the length of each side.

A=250000

x^2=250000

Taking square root on both sides.

x=500

Differentiate with respect to t.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}

Substitute x=500 and \frac{dx}{dt}=2 in the above equation.

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2(500)(2)

\dfrac{dA}{dt}=2000

Farmer bob is losing 2,000 square feet of land per year.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
