What operations are performed first in the order of operations?
parenthesis. For example, ( 4 + 5 ) - 2
Which operation will be performed first in a formula does not contain parentheses?
Multiplications and divisions from left to right.
Which operation should be performed first according to the order of operations?
In a standard calculation it would be the exponent, also known as the power of. However, the use of brackets can change the order of operations and so sometimes another operation could be done first. Exponents should be processed first, then multiplication and division, then addition and subtraction. The use of parenthesis brackets can be used to override this default precedence order.
What will be performed first in a formula that does not contain parentheses?
I believe that, in the absence of parentheses, the order of applying operations is as follows (from first to last):1. exponentiation;2. multiplication and division;3. addition and subtraction.I should say I am not 100 % sure this answer is correct.
Which operation should be performed first when simplifying the expression?
We'll answer this generally, since you haven't provided an expression. A common technique for remembering the order of operations is the abbreviation "PEMDAS", which is turned into the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally". It stands for "Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, and Addition and Subtraction".
