Question

Solve the problem below

123-20+8,098*67^8

Explain your answer

Answer 1

3.28833605E+18 (Scientific Notation, for example, aE+b = a × 10^b) [ 3,288,336,052,853,678,818 ]

Explanation:

123-20+8,098*67^8 =

(123 - 20) + (8,098 × 67^8)

103 + (8,098 × 67^8)

103 + 3,288,336,052,853,678,715 [3.28833605285367815E+18] =

3,288,336,052,853,678,818 [3.28833605285367815E+18]

≈ 3.28833605E+18

This is due to the order of operations, that defines the mathematical steps to solve arithmetic problems. This is known as PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

So each part of the expression must be worked out in a certain order to get the correct answer.
