Why do you have to use order of operations for every problem?
Because if you perform the operations in a different order your answer will be wrong.
Why is it important to perform the operations in a equation in a certain order?
Its only important if you want the right answer. If the wrong answer will suffice, than any order will do.
What is a difficult order of operations problem?
Many expressions involve two or more operations. When simplifying such expressions, it is important to perform the operations in the following order:1. Perform any operation(s) within group symbols, which are:a. parentheses ( )b. brackets [ ]c. braces { }d. fraction bar /e. absolute-values bar | |f. radical sign2. Simplify all powers.3. Multiply and divide in order from left to right.4. Add and subtract in order from left to right.If you don't follow this order of operations, you will find a wrong answer.
What can you use to control the order of operation in a formula?
The use of parentheses allows you to control, or change, the regular order of operations. For example, if you have the expression 4 + 2 * 3, under the normal order of operations, you would perform the multiplication before the addition. To perform the addition first, you just add parenthesis so the expression reads (4 + 2) * 3 instead.
What are the steps of the scientific notation in order?
The steps, in order, will depend on what you wish to do: convert from normal to scientific notation, the converse, perform one of the basic operations of arithmetic on numbers in scientific notation.
