Exercise #1

10:222= 10:2-2^2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The given mathematical expression is 10:222 10:2-2^2 .

According to the order of operations (often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS/BODMAS), we perform calculations in the following sequence:

  • Parentheses/Brackets
  • Exponents/Orders (i.e., powers and roots)
  • Multiplication and Division (from left to right)
  • Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

In this expression, there are no parentheses, but there is an exponent: 222^2. We calculate the exponent first:

22=42^2 = 4

Substituting back into the expression, we have:

10:24 10:2-4

Next, we perform the division from left to right. Here, ":" is interpreted as division:

10÷2=5 10 \div 2 = 5

Now, substitute this back into the expression:

54 5 - 4

The final step is to perform the subtraction:

54=1 5 - 4 = 1

Therefore, the answer is 1 1 .

Exercise #18

0:22×110+3= 0:2^2\times1^{10}+3=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression, we need to follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (left-to-right), Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right).

  • Step 1: Handle the exponentiation in the expression.
    The exponentiation operation is on the number 2, so we compute 22 2^2 which is equal to 4.
  • Step 2: Handle the multiplication.
    We multiply the result of the exponentiation by the number following it. Therefore, we have 4×110 4 \times 1^{10} . Since 110=1 1^{10} = 1 , the expression becomes 4×1=4 4 \times 1 = 4 .
  • Step 3: Handle the operations on either side of multiplication.
    Before evaluating, it's essential to note that the original expression is slightly misunderstood due to potential formatting errors. Let's assume it was meant to use division as 0÷22 0 \div 2^2 due to the notation 0:22 0:2^2 . Therefore, calculate 0÷4 0 \div 4 which is equal to 0.
  • Step 4: Handle the addition.
    Finally, we add 3 to the result of the division: 0+3=3 0 + 3 = 3 .

Thus, the final answer is 3.

Exercise #19

100:52+32= 100:5^2+3^2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression 100:52+32= 100:5^2+3^2= , we need to follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)). Here, we have division, exponentiation, and addition to work with.

Step 1: Calculate the exponentiation first.

  • Calculate 52 5^2 : 5×5=25 5 \times 5 = 25 .
  • Calculate 32 3^2 : 3×3=9 3 \times 3 = 9 .

So, the expression becomes 100:25+9 100:25+9 .

Step 2: Perform the division next, which comes before addition.

  • Divide 100 100 by 25 25 : 100÷25=4 100 \div 25 = 4 .

Now the expression simplifies to 4+9 4 + 9 .

Step 3: Perform the addition.

  • Add 4 4 and 9 9 : 4+9=13 4 + 9 = 13 .

Therefore, the final result of the expression 100:52+32 100:5^2+3^2 is 13 13 .

143121+18= 143-\sqrt{121}+18=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the expression 143121+18 143-\sqrt{121}+18 , we need to follow the order of operations, which dictate that we should simplify any expressions under a square root first, followed by subtraction and addition.


Step 1: Simplify the square root:

  • Calculate the square root: 121 \sqrt{121} .
  • The square root of 121 is 11, because 11×11=121 11 \times 11 = 121 .

Now, substitute back into the expression:

  • The expression becomes: 14311+18 143 - 11 + 18 .

Step 2: Perform the subtraction:

  • Calculate 14311 143 - 11 .
  • This equals 132, because subtracting 11 from 143 yields 132.

Step 3: Perform the addition:

  • Now add 18 to the result of the subtraction: 132+18 132 + 18 .
  • The result is 150, because adding 18 to 132 equals 150.

Therefore, the final answer is 150 150 .
