Capitolo 5, Problema 5.33

In Exercises 29–36, simplify and write the result in standard form.


√3² − 4 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 5

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the expression given: \(\sqrt{3}^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 5\).
Simplify the square of the square root: \(\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^2 = 3\) because squaring a square root cancels out the root.
Calculate the product in the second term: multiply \(4\), \(2\), and \(5\) together to get \(4 \cdot 2 \cdot 5\).
Rewrite the expression with the simplified parts: \(3 - (4 \cdot 2 \cdot 5)\).
Perform the subtraction to write the expression in its simplest standard form.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Order of Operations

The order of operations dictates the sequence in which mathematical operations are performed to ensure consistent results. It follows the PEMDAS/BODMAS rules: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right). Applying this correctly is essential to simplify expressions accurately.

Square Roots and Exponents

Understanding how to handle square roots and exponents is crucial. The square root of a number is a value that, when squared, gives the original number. Squaring a square root (e.g., (√3)²) simplifies back to the original number (3), which helps in simplifying expressions involving radicals.
