1-1 Expressions and Formulas To use order of operations Replacing variable with number in expression and Formulas
What is a Expression? It is a mathematical statement with variables. 3x + 4 • So what is an Equation? It an expression that equals a given value, thus you can solve an equation. An Expression you can fill in the variables with numbers and evaluate. Using the Order of Operations
What is the order of Operation?The way a expression is evaluated Parentheses Exponents Multiplication or Division (from Left to Right) Addition or Subtraction (From Left to Right)
How to Remember the order. One way is with a Sentence Parentheses Exponents Multiplication or Division (from Left to Right) Addition or Subtraction (From Left to Right) • Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
Is it really important to use Left to Right Is the answer 25 or 1 ?
Find the value of this expression using the order of operation
First Step (7-2)=5
You can also plug numbers in for variable and then use the order of operation to evaluate • Evaluate if x = 2 and y = 3.4
The expression becomes easy to work with as each step is used.
Lets Evaluate a Formula • The volume of this classroom has the Formula V = lwh; where l is length, w is wide and h is height Lets guess at the measurements L is 18 feet; w is 12 feet and h is 10 feet Thus V = (18)(12)(10)
So the volume equals 2160 feet cubed Is this the correct answer? We did the math right. So if the answer is wrong what is the problem? Could the equation by wrong?
