what is the value /-16+10/2 squared + 16/2?
To calculate the value of the given expression (-16 + 10/2^2 + 16/2), we need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS/BODMAS).
1. First, we need to calculate the exponents or square roots (if there were any). In this case, we have 2^2, which equals 4.
Now the expression becomes:
(-16 + 10/4 + 16/2)
2. Next, we calculate the division from left to right.
10 divided by 4 equals 2, and 16 divided by 2 equals 8.
The expression now becomes:
(-16 + 2 + 8)
3. Lastly, we need to perform addition and subtraction from left to right.
-16 plus 2 equals -14, and -14 plus 8 equals -6.
Therefore, the value of the expression (-16 + 10/2^2 + 16/2) is -6.
