RE: Order of operations - what is 6÷2(1+2) ?
The calculator manual always specifies the priority of operations, so we can use private rules to get rid of ambiguous interpretation.
Implied multiplication and division has a higher priority than normal multiplication and division. Operations with the same priority are performed sequentially from left to right. And that`s where all the arguments end. 6◢2(1+2)=(6÷2)×(1+2)=9 (CASIO) 6÷2(1+2)=6÷(2×(1+2))=1 (CASIO, TI-85,86) 6÷2×(1+2)=(6÷2)×(1+2)=9 (CASIO, TI-83,85,86,89, HP-50G) |
