9+(2*(11-6)^2

hey! what does this ^ mean?????

A way to solve:
PEMDAS
P= parentheses
e=exponents (if any)
m= multiplication
d= division
a= adding
s= subtraction

A and S can be switched according to what thing comes first.

McCormick -- ^ means am exponent.

9 + (2*(11-6)^2

Parentheses:

11-6 = (5)

2*(5) = (10)

Do the Exponent:

(10)^2 = 100

Now add:

9 + 100 = 109

So, 109 is correct.

I hope this helps! :)

thanks a lot!! i have been wondering about this on a lot of questions !

To simplify the expression 9+(2*(11-6)^2), we can follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction):

1. Start with the parentheses: (11-6) = 5.
The expression now becomes: 9 + (2*5^2).

2. Then, calculate the exponent: 5^2 = 25.
The expression now becomes: 9 + (2*25).

3. Next, perform the multiplication: 2*25 = 50.
The expression now becomes: 9 + 50.

4. Finally, perform the addition: 9 + 50 = 59.

Therefore, the value of the expression 9+(2*(11-6)^2) is 59.
