Question 1.
To evaluate 3 × (7 + 5), what should you do first and why?
Answer:
First, add 7 + 5 since that operation is inside the parentheses.
Explanation:
Question 2.
In the second example using the scientific calculator, what is the purpose of the key?
Answer:
It is the key that is used to evaluate a base number raised to the power of an exponent.
Explanation:
Mathematicians use a set of rules known as order of operations , the order in which to perform operations in calculations.
1. Compute inside parentheses.
2. Evaluate terms with exponents.
3. Multiply and divide from left to right.
4. Add and subtract from left to right.
Using the correct order of operations, 14 + 8 × 6 = 62.
A scientific calculator uses order of operations.
