Question

Please answer for me.

Answer 1

The following is equivalent to -1.

Explanation:

`\text{Use PEMDAS to solve this equation.}\\(4^3/(-12+2^2))/((2*3)^2+(-5*2*3)+2)\\\text{Evaluate 2 squared in the first parenthesis.}\\(4^3/(-12+4))/((2*3)^2+(-5*2*3)+2)\\\text{Evaluate -12 + 4 in the first parenthesis.}\\(4^3/-8)/((2*3)^2+(-5*2*3)+2)\\\text{Evaluate 2 times 3 in the next parenthesis.}\\(4^3/-8)/((6^2+(-5*2*3)+2)\\\text{Evaluate -5 times 2 in the next parenthesis.}\\(4^3/-8)/(6^2+(-10*3)+2)\\\text{Evaluate -10 times 3 in that parenthesis.}\\`

`(4^3/-8)/(6^2-30+2)\\\text{Now that the parenthesis are finished, start evaluating exponents, start in the numerator.}\\(64/-8)/(6^2-30+2)\\\text{Evaluate the remaining exponent.}\\(64/-8)/(36-30+2)\\\text{Evaluate the division in the numerator.}\\(-8)/(36-30+2)\\\text{Finally, evaluate the numbers in the denominator.}\\(-8)/(6+2)\\(-8)/(8)\\\text{Divide -8 by 8 to get your final answer:}\\-1`
