if you mean (3+1)^2 ÷ 2^2
then
= 16 ÷ 4 = 4
if you mean ((3)^2 + 1)÷ 2^2
then
= 10/4 = 5/2
if you mean 3^2 + 1÷ 2^2
then
= 9 + 1/4
= 37/4
can you see the problem when you don't use brackets to properly establish the order of operation ?
the way you typed it, the correct way according to the order of operation would be
3^2 + 1÷ 2^2

= 16 ÷ 4 = 4
