Evaluate the expression.

Question

3 + 1^2 × 2

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \(3 + 1^2 \times 2\), we must follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

1. Evaluate the exponent: \[ 1^2 = 1 \]

2. Multiply: \[ 1 \times 2 = 2 \]

3. Add: \[ 3 + 2 = 5 \]

Thus, the value of the expression \(3 + 1^2 \times 2\) is \( \boxed{5} \).
