9+(2*(11-6)^2

4 answers

hey! what does this ^ mean?????
A way to solve:
PEMDAS
P= parentheses
e=exponents (if any)
m= multiplication
d= division
a= adding
s= subtraction

A and S can be switched according to what thing comes first.
McCormick -- ^ means am exponent.
9 + (2*(11-6)^2

Parentheses:

11-6 = (5)

2*(5) = (10)

Do the Exponent:

(10)^2 = 100

Now add:

9 + 100 = 109

So, 109 is correct.

I hope this helps! :)
