Math Problem Statement

Calculate the value of each of the following expressions: (a) (3^2 + 2.8) / (16 - 11) (b) 32 * (1/2 + 6) - (4 - 1) (c) 4 * ((8 - 10 * 3) + 2^3 - 5)

Solution

Let's go through each part of the question in detail:

Part (a):

32+2.81611\frac{3^2 + 2.8}{16 - 11}

  1. First, calculate the exponent 32=93^2 = 9.
  2. Add 9+2.8=11.89 + 2.8 = 11.8.
  3. Now, simplify the denominator 1611=516 - 11 = 5.
  4. The expression becomes 11.85=2.36\frac{11.8}{5} = 2.36.

Thus, the value of (a) is 2.362.36.

Part (b):

32(12+6)(41)32 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} + 6\right) - (4 - 1)

  1. First, simplify the expression inside the parentheses: 12+6=6.5\frac{1}{2} + 6 = 6.5.
  2. Multiply: 326.5=20832 \cdot 6.5 = 208.
  3. Now, simplify the subtraction: 41=34 - 1 = 3.
  4. Subtract: 2083=205208 - 3 = 205.

Thus, the value of (b) is 205205.

Part (c):

4((8103)+235)4 \left((8 - 10 \cdot 3) + 2^3 - 5\right)

  1. Begin with the multiplication: 103=3010 \cdot 3 = 30.
  2. Simplify inside the parentheses: 830=228 - 30 = -22.
  3. Now, calculate the exponent: 23=82^3 = 8.
  4. Simplify the entire expression: (22+85)=19(-22 + 8 - 5) = -19.
  5. Multiply by 4: 4(19)=764 \cdot (-19) = -76.

Thus, the value of (c) is 76-76.

Summary:

  • (a) = 2.36
  • (b) = 205
  • (c) = -76
