Evaluate each expression for p = -4, q = 8, and r = -10. See Example 6. -p² - 7q + r

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify the given expression: $-p^{2} - 7q + r$ and the values $p = -4$, $q = 8$, and $r = -10$.

Substitute the values of $p$, $q$, and $r$ into the expression: $-(-4)^{2} - 7(8) + (-10)$.

Calculate the square of $p$: $(-4)^{2} = 16$.

Apply the negative sign in front of $p^{2}$: $-16$.

Evaluate the entire expression step-by-step: $-16 - 7 imes 8 - 10$.

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. Exponents are evaluated before multiplication, addition, or subtraction. For example, in -p², the exponent applies to p before the negative sign is considered, so p² is calculated first, then the negative is applied.
