Powers and Roots Practice Problems - Order of Operations

To solve the expression $6+\sqrt{64}-4=$, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

• P: Parentheses (or Brackets)
• E: Exponents (or Orders, i.e., powers and roots, etc.)
• MD: Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)
• AS: Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

In this expression, we first need to evaluate the square root since it falls under the exponent category:

$\sqrt{64} = 8$

Next, we substitute the computed value back into the expression:

$6+8-4$

We then perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:

$6+8 = 14$

$14-4 = 10$

Thus, the final answer is:

$10$

To solve the expression $4 + 2^2$, follow the 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)).

Let's break down the expression:

• Step 1: Identify any exponents.
  The expression contains an exponent: $2^2$. To evaluate this, multiply 2 by itself: $2 \times 2$, which equals 4.
  So, $2^2 = 4$.
• Step 2: Perform addition.
  Now, substitute the result back into the original expression:
  $4 + 4$.
  Add these numbers together: 4 + 4 equals 8.

Therefore, the answer to the expression $4 + 2^2$ is 8.

First we need to remind ourselves of the order of operations:

1. Parentheses

2. Exponents and Roots

3. Multiplication and Division

4. Addition and Subtraction

There are no parentheses in this problem, therefore we will start with exponents:

3 * 3 + 3² =

3 * 3 + 9 =

Let's continue to the next step—multiplication operations:

3 * 3 + 9 =

9 + 9 =

Finally, we are left with a simple addition exercise:

9 + 9 = 18

Let's solve the expression step by step using the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

The given expression is: $8-3^2:3=$

Step 1: Evaluate Exponents
The expression has an exponent, which we need to evaluate first. The exponent is $3^2$.
Calculate $3^2$ which equals $9$.
Now the expression becomes: $8 - 9 : 3$

Step 2: Division
Next, perform the division operation. Here we divide $9$ by $3$.
Calculate $9 : 3$ which equals $3$.
Now the expression becomes: $8 - 3$

Step 3: Subtraction
Finally, perform the subtraction.
Calculate $8 - 3$ which equals $5$.

Therefore, the solution to the expression $8-3^2:3$ is $5$.

To solve the expression $5+\sqrt{36}-1=$, we need to follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).

Here are the steps:

First, calculate the square root:

$\sqrt{36} = 6$

Substitute the square root back into the expression:

$5 + 6 - 1$

Next, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:

Add 5 and 6:

$5 + 6 = 11$

Then subtract 1:

$11 - 1 = 10$

Finally, you obtain the solution:

$10$
