Help please!

Tell me, what is 234 magnified to the 3rd power and divided by 2 and then square rooted?

Re: Help please!

"Magnified"?

Do you mean 234 raised to the third power?

If so you'd write that like this: ((234^3)/2)^1/2, right? (^3 means that the three is an exponent, ^1/2 means square-root)

You can do that on any calculator just by entering 234^3. Dividing that by two, then hitting the square-root button.

However, are you sure that that's the order of operations? That it isn't 234 raised to the third, then square rooted, then divided?

Re: Help please!

If you mean in that exact order, then:

234^3=12,812,904

12,812,904/2=6406452

6406452^1/2=2,531.097 (As the above person said, ^1/2 is a square root.)

Therefore, if done in that exact order, then the answer is most likely Two million, five hundred thirty-one and Ninety-Seven ten-thousandths (2,531.097).

I am not going to do in OoO (Order of Operations; you know: PEMDAS).
