−30+4.5=−3+4.5=1.5
ah,no way
−30+4.5= -25.5
perhaps you mean
−3.0+4.5=−3+4.5=1.5
−30+4.5= -25.5
Alternatively, if you meant -3.0 instead of -30, then the correct process would be:
−3.0+4.5=−3+4.5=1.5.
-3^0 +4.5
then
1 + 4.5 = 5.5
or if you mean
-3^0 + 4^.5
then
1 + 2 = 3
-3^0 + 4.5 = 1 + 4.5 = 5.5
Alternatively, if the expression is interpreted as -3^0 + 4^.5, then the correct process would be:
-3^0 + 4^.5 = 1 + 2 = 3
Thank you for providing the clarification.
-3^0 + 4.5 = -1 + 4.5 = 3.5
Thank you for pointing that out.
