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 do you solve first in the order of operations and why?
partheses because that the first order of operation
Why is exponents second in the order of operations?
It is because of convention. It was necessary for some order of operation to be agreed so that wo people carrying out the same calculation would come to the same answer.
What is the order of operation for 27?
There is no operation for a single number and so there can be no order of operation.
When do you use order of operations?
You use order of operations in equations that have more than one type of operation going on (for example, an equation with parenthesis, addition, and multiplication). You would use order of operations in equations like that so you know which operation to do first.
