1.2 Order of Operations and Evalutating Expressions

1. The document provides instructions on evaluating numerical and algebraic expressions using the proper order of operations. This includes simplifying powers, performing multiplication and division before addition and subtraction, and substituting values into algebraic expressions. 2. Examples are given for simplifying expressions with exponents, performing operations in the correct order, and evaluating algebraic expressions by substituting given values for variables. 3. The order of operations is: perform operations in grouping symbols, simplify powers, perform multiplication and division left to right, and perform addition and subtraction left to right.

Notes for Lesson 1-2: Order of Operations and Evaluating Expressions

1. Simplifying Powers

Vocabulary:
Power – An expression written as a power and a base or the value of that
Expression
Exponent – The number that indicates how many times the base is used as a
factor
Base – The number is used as a factor
Simplify – To replace an expression with its simplest name or form

Exponent

3
Base

1. Evaluating powers

You must pay close attention to what the exponent is sitting on to determine if the base is positive or
negative.

Example: Simplify each expression

 2    2   2   2   8 52  1 5   5   25

62  1 6   6   36  5   5   5   5   125

2. Simplifying Numerical Expressions

When a numeric or algebraic expression contains more than one operation, the order of operations tell
you which operation to perform first.

The order of operations is:


a) Perform all operation inside grouping symbols
b) Simplify powers
c) Perform multiplication and division from left to right
d) Perform addition and subtraction from left to right
Examples: Simplify each expression

24−1
( 6−2 )3 ÷ 2 52+82−3(4−2)3 3 [ 42−2 ( 102−92 ) ]
5

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions

To evaluate algebraic expressions you must begin by substituting values in for the variables. Then you
have a numerical express like we just did.

Examples: Evaluate each expression for the given values

x 2+ x−12÷ y 2 for x=5∧ y=2 3 s t 2 ÷ ( st ) +6 for s=4∧t=8


52 +5−12÷ 22 3 ∙ 4 ∙ 82 ÷ ( 4 ∙ 8 ) +6
25+5−12÷ 4 3 ∙ 4 ∙ 82 ÷ 32+6
25+5−3 3 ∙ 4 ∙ 64 ÷ 32+ 6
27 768 ÷ 32+ 6
24+ 6
30

Practice:

a) ( 33 −4 ) +52 b) (3 c 2−3 d )2−21 for c=3∧d=5
