. . multiplication comes next - perform next= 9So not to worry, your teacher did not make an error !.-The way you have WRITTEN the equation.......
--------------------
6÷2(1+2)
P - parenthesis
= 6÷2(3)
= 6÷2*3
E - no exponents
MD - multiplication/division from left to right
= 6÷2 * 3 . . . . division come first - perform first
= 3 * 3 . . . . . . multiplication comes next - perform next
= 9
So not to worry, your teacher did not make an error !

The way you have WRITTEN the equation.. the answer is 1.
assuming you mean : 6/ (2*(1-2))
Now to get 9 >> you have to assume the question statement is asking for: (6/2)*(1+2)
It depends on the question statement. THere is no magic way your friend got 9.
And what exactly does this have anything to do with Calculus?
Its a simple numerical computation.
There is no point in obsessing over this. There are far more important mathematic concepts you can use your time to understand other than mathematical semantics.
-
Mathematic regulations clearly state that the order of operations is as follows:
terms inside parenthesis
exponents and roots
multiplication and division
addition and subtraction
So first you do the addition between brackets (1+2)=3
The you have 6/2*3
Since multiplication and division is on the same level, according to regulations, you calculate from left to right, so first you do 6/2=3 which leave the multiplication 3*3 which is 9. 9 is the only correct answer if you follow mathematical regulations.
-
you add 1 and 2 first which gives you 3
you divide the 6 and 2 which gives you 3
3x3=9
in PEMDAS (Parentheses exponents multiplication division addition subtraction)
YOU FORGOT FOR MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION YOU READ LEFT TO RIGHT(:
which means in this problem you would divide before you multiply
-
Everyone who says it's 9 is WRONG and need to go back to school.
By PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) We must work out the parenthesis then multiplication then division.
