square of 3+1 divided by square of 2
how to find the answer
IT is not clear to me what is being sqared in the numerator. Four?
16/4=4
if you mean (3+1)^2 ÷ 2^2
then
= 16 ÷ 4 = 4
if you mean ((3)^2 + 1)÷ 2^2
then
= 10/4 = 5/2
if you mean 3^2 + 1÷ 2^2
then
= 9 + 1/4
= 37/4
can you see the problem when you don't use brackets to properly establish the order of operation ?
the way you typed it, the correct way according to the order of operation would be
3^2 + 1÷ 2^2
To find the answer, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by evaluating the expression within the parentheses: (3 + 1). This simplifies to 4.
2. Next, evaluate the expression within the second set of parentheses: (2). This simplifies to 2.
3. Square the result of step 1. So, 4 squared is equal to 4 * 4, which gives you 16.
4. Square the result of step 2. So, 2 squared is equal to 2 * 2, which gives you 4.
5. Divide the result of step 3 by the result of step 4. Therefore, 16 divided by 4 is equal to 4.
Therefore, the answer to the given expression (square of 3+1 divided by square of 2) is 4.
