What does PAMDAS satands for?


Sagot :

It's actually PEMDAS. P is for parenthesis. E is for exponents. M is for multiplication. D is for division. A is for Addition. S is for subtraction.
Here's an example that includes all of these:
(6-2)²x4/2+6-4
P first.
(6-2) = 4
(4)²x4/2+6-4
Now E.
(4)² = 16
16x4/2+6-4
Then M.
16x4 = 64
64/2+6-4
Next is D.
64/2 = 32
32+6-4
Now A.
32+6 = 38
38-4
And finally, S.
38-4 = 34.
I hope this helped

*Correction: It's PEMDAS, not PAMDAS*

P of PEMDAS = Parenthesis

E of PEMDAS = Exponent

M of PEMDAS = Multiplication

D of PEMDAS = Division

A of PEMDAS = Addition

S of PEMDAS = Subtraction

PEMDAS is to remember the precedence of the mathematical operations given above. In other words, what operation to perform first can be remembered by using PEMDAS.

Example:

3 + 4*2

As M (multiplication) comes before A (addition) in PEMDAS, therefore, first solve for multiplication of 4 and 2 and then add the resultant of 4*2 in 3:

3 + 8 (as 4*2 = 8) <--- Multiplication (M)

11 (as 3+8 is 11) <--- Addition (A)

Likewise use PEMDAS for complex expressions like (3+5)*2/3+7 by applying the precedence mentioned above.
