2. Order of Operations
Sign In
Try to break the expression down into terms, then break those terms into factors.
Example Solution: k cubed plus 13
In this expression, one term is being added to another term. Let's break it down into more digestible pieces.
Algebraic Term | Verbal Translation |
---|---|
k^3 | k cubed |
+ | plus |
13 | 13 |
Now that we have translated each of the pieces, let's bring it all together. k^3 + 13 k cubed plus 13. Please note that it is often possible to express the same algebraic operations in multiple ways, so our translation is only one of many possible correct translations.
