Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the expression given in the problem: (1622+6):22= (\sqrt{16}-2^2+6):2^2=

We need to follow the Order of Operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction). This ensures that we perform calculations in the correct order:

  • 16 \sqrt{16} simplifies to 4 4 because the square root of 16 is 4.
  • Next, evaluate 22 2^2 , which equals 4 4 .
  • Replace these results back into the expression: (44+6):4 (4-4+6):4 .

Now let's go step-by-step through the simplified expression:

  • Calculate inside the parentheses: 44+6 4 - 4 + 6 .
  • 44 4-4 equals 0 0 .
  • Then, 0+6 0+6 equals 6 6 .
  • We now have 6:4 6:4 , which denotes division.
  • Perform the division: 6÷4=1.5 6 \div 4 = 1.5 .

Thus, the solution to the expression is: 1.5 1.5 .

2×(36+9)= 2\times(\sqrt{36}+9)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve this problem step by step using the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction):

1. First, let's focus on what's inside the parentheses: 36+9 \sqrt{36}+9

2. We need to evaluate the square root first:

  • 36=6 \sqrt{36} = 6 (because 6×6=36 6 \times 6 = 36 )

3. Now our expression looks like this: 2×(6+9) 2\times(6+9)

4. Next, we perform the addition inside the parentheses:

  • 6+9=15 6 + 9 = 15

5. Our expression is now: 2×15 2\times15

6. Finally, we perform the multiplication:

  • 2×15=30 2 \times 15 = 30

Therefore, 2×(36+9)=30 2\times(\sqrt{36}+9) = 30

This matches the provided correct answer of 30.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's walk through the steps to solve the expression (42:8):2+32 (4^2:8):2+3^2 using the correct 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)).

  • First, resolve the expression inside the parentheses: 42:84^2:8

    • The exponent comes first:

      42=164^2 = 16, so the expression now is 16:816:8.

  • Next, perform the division inside the parentheses: 16:816:8 equals 2. So the expression within the parentheses simplifies to 2.

  • Now, we replace the original expression with this simplified result:

    2:2+322:2+3^2

  • We perform the division: 2:2=12:2 = 1.

  • Substitute back into the expression:

    1+321+3^2

  • Next, calculate the exponent:

    32=93^2 = 9.

  • Finally, add the results:

    1+9=101 + 9 = 10.

Thus, the solution to the expression (42:8):2+32 (4^2:8):2+3^2 is 10.

Exercise #20

What is the result of the following power?

(23)3 (\frac{2}{3})^3

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the given power expression, we need to apply the formula for powers of a fraction. The expression we are given is:
(23)3 \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3

Let's break down the steps:

  • When we raise a fraction to a power, we apply the exponent to both the numerator and the denominator separately. This means raising both 2 and 3 to the power of 3.
  • Thus, we calculate:
    23=8 2^3 = 8 and 33=27 3^3 = 27 .
  • Therefore, (23)3=2333=827 \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3 = \frac{2^3}{3^3} = \frac{8}{27} .

So, the result of the expression (23)3 \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3 is 827 \frac{8}{27} .
