The ditto is light so I can't make out some of the functions to evaluate the expression. Can't make out function befor () and betwee the two 3's. I think it is:
4^2+(10-9+1)^3+3-5
A. -16
B. 1
C. 15
D. 19
E. 26
Well from the expression here, my answer would be 22, but that is not one of your options....
16 + 8 + 3 - 5 = 22
That is what I keep coming up with. I can't make out the functions because they are faded.
To evaluate the given expression: 4^2+(10-9+1)^3+3-5, we need to follow the order of operations.
First, we'll start with the parentheses.
Inside the parentheses, we have (10-9+1).
To simplify this, we'll perform the addition and subtraction: 10-9+1 = 2.
So now, our expression becomes: 4^2+2^3+3-5.
Next, we'll evaluate the exponentiation.
The first term is 4^2, which means 4 raised to the power of 2.
4^2 = 4 * 4 = 16.
Our expression now becomes: 16+2^3+3-5.
Now, let's simplify the remaining exponentiation: 2^3.
2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.
Our expression now becomes: 16+8+3-5.
Finally, we'll perform the addition and subtraction from left to right.
16+8 = 24.
24+3 = 27.
27-5 = 22.
So, the value of the expression is 22.
Since none of the provided options matches our result of 22, it seems there might be an error in the given expression or the options. Please check again or provide additional information.
