Full solution

Q. Use the order of operations to solve the expression.\newline32+(4)2+12(8)-3^{2}+(-4)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(8)\newline
  1. Apply PEMDAS: Apply the order of operations, which is Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right), often abbreviated as PEMDAS.\newlineFirst, we evaluate the exponents.\newline32=9-3^{2} = -9 (since the negative sign is not raised to the power, only the 33 is squared)\newline(4)2=16(-4)^{2} = 16 (since the negative sign is inside the parentheses, it is squared along with the 44)
  2. Evaluate Exponents: Next, we perform the multiplication.\newline(1)/(2)(8)=1/16(1)/(2)(8) = 1/16 (since 1/21/2 multiplied by 88 equals 1/161/16)
  3. Perform Multiplication: Now, we add and subtract the results from the previous steps.\newline9+16+116-9 + 16 + \frac{1}{16}\newlineFirst, we add 9-9 and 1616, which gives us 77.\newline7+1167 + \frac{1}{16}
  4. Add and Subtract: Finally, we add the fraction 116\frac{1}{16} to the whole number 77. To do this, we can convert 77 to a fraction with the same denominator as 116\frac{1}{16}, which is 1616. 7=7×(1616)=112167 = 7 \times \left(\frac{16}{16}\right) = \frac{112}{16} Now, we add the two fractions. 11216+116=11316\frac{112}{16} + \frac{1}{16} = \frac{113}{16}
