Where would radicals come in the order of operations? Explain why.

The reason for this is because radicals, for example, X to the power or this very day vaccine is the same as X to the power of one. The humor to perhaps is the same as actually the power of 1/3. So really any radical can be expressed is an exploded as well. So this is why radicals are grouped with exponents right here. So after Grant sees in priority, but before multiplication and division

Radicals are expressions with roots (e.g. square roots, cube roots, etc.)

Radicals should be evaluated after all grouping symbols, but before any other arithmetic operators.

The grouping symbols are: brackets and parentheses

The other arithmetic operators are: addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.

Take for instance:

[tex]\mathbf{2\sqrt{4} + (5 \times 3) - 2}[/tex]

First, we evaluate the expressions in brackets

[tex]\mathbf{2\sqrt{4} + (5 \times 3) - 2 = 2\sqrt{4} + 15 - 2}[/tex]

Next, we evaluate the radical

[tex]\mathbf{2\sqrt{4} + (5 \times 3) - 2 = 2 \times 2 + 15 - 2}[/tex]

Then, we solve the remaining expressions.
