Evaluate:
The expression is undefined.
A negative number taken to an odd-numbered power is negative, so:
Example Question #182 : Numbers And Operations
Evaluate:
By order of operations, exponentiate first, then add:

Solve for :
Example Question #18 : Operations
Mulitply:
We ignore the decimals for the time being, multiplying:
Since, between them, the two original factors have a total of three digits to the right of their decimal points, we place the decimal point in the product so that there are three digits to the right. This yields:

Example Question #182 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
Which expression is equal to 24?
Remember the order of operations, so work inside parentheses first:
Then everything else:
Example Question #183 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
What is the product of and ?
The term "product" indicates multiplication.
Example Question #22 : How To Multiply
Which expression is equal to ?
One should use order of operations (PEMDAS) to solve this equation. In the equation , order of operations says to first solve the expressions inside the parentheses:
.
Multiplication is next in this equation, according to order of operations:
.
Subtraction comes last:
.
Example Question #184 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement
What is the product of and ?
A product is the result of a multiplication problem.
.
Therefore, the product of and is equal to .
Example Question #24 : How To Multiply
Yesterday, Joe's dad worked for 7.5 hours at a rate of $12.50 per hour. Approximately how much money did he earn yesterday?
$60
$166
$75
$125
$95
$95
First look at the answer choices. They are all at least $15 apart from one another, so we know that we can approximate the answer without worrying about being off by $1 or so.
Let's round 7.5 hours up to 8 hours, and then $12.50 down to $12. Working 8 hours at a rate of $12 per hour gives us a total earnings of $96. The closest answer choice is $95, so that's our answer.
The exact total is in fact $93.75, which is very close to both the answer choice and our approximation.
