Operations on Numbers - Part 3
In this lesson, we learn about the typical operations done on numbers, including absolute value, opposites, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and simple exponents. The Order of Operations is covered in detail, with grouping symbols being evaluated first, followed by exponents, multiplication/division from left to right, and finally addition/subtraction from left to right. The acronym PEMDAS is used to remember the order of operations, which stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. The lesson also explains how to use a graphing calculator to help perform these operations.
