Example Question #21 : Concepts

Evaluate: $\frac{-1^2-2^2}{(3^2)-(-4^2)}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{5}$

$-\frac{1}{5}$

$-\frac{5}{14}$

$\frac{5}{14}$

$-\frac{5}{7}$

Correct answer:

$-\frac{1}{5}$

Explanation:

Evaluate the numerator first by order of operations.

-1^2-2^2=-1-4=-5

Evaluate the denominator by order of operations. Double negatives will equal a positive.

(3^2)-(-4^2)=(9)-(-16)= 9+16 = 25

Divide the numerator with the denominator and reduce the fraction.

$\frac{-5}{25}= \frac{-1\times 5}{5\times 5} = -\frac{1}{5}$

Example Question #26 : Negative Numbers

Perform the indicated operation:

-6*-4

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When multiplying two negative numbers, their product becomes positive. Thus,

-6*-4=24

Example Question #27 : Negative Numbers

When evaluating the expression

$12 \times (128 - 32 )\div (-8) + 10$ ,

which operation must be performed second?

Possible Answers:

Subtraction

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Correct answer:

Multiplication

Explanation:

According to the order of operations, the operation inside the parentheses, which is the subtraction, is performed first.

This leaves a multiplication, a division, and an addition. By the order of operations, the multiplication and the division come next in left-to-right order; we choose the one that is to the left, which is the multiplication.

Example Question #28 : Negative Numbers

When evaluating the expression

$12 \times 14 - 32 \div (-8) + 10$ ,

which operation must be performed third?

Possible Answers:

Subtraction

Division

Multiplication

Addition

Correct answer:

Subtraction

Explanation:

According to the order of operations, since no grouping symbols are present (the parentheses are setting apart a negative number, not an operation), multiplication and the division must be performed, left to right, then the addition and the subtraction must be performed, left to right.

This means that the first two operations to be performed are the multiplication and the division. This leaves a subtraction and an addition; since the subtraction is at left, it is the third operation performed.
