What's bare X bare + bare - bare to the power of bare?

What i know is, that the answer "bare" is wrong Mad

USA's acronym for the Order of Operations is PEMDAS - Parentheses Exponents Multiplication/Division Addition/Subtraction. Often remembered by the mnemonic of "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally".

Anyway, onto the actual problem:

Assuming you didn't leave out any parentheses, you started with:

y = bare X bare + bare - bare^bare

You then get:

y = bare² + bare - bare^bare

Then do a little distribution...

y = bare(bare + 1 - 1^bare)

and since 1 to the power of anything is 1,

y = bare(bare + 1 - 1)

So, unless I'm remembering my algebra wrong (it has been around 10 years...), you get:

y = bare²

It really depends on bracketing. I think the bare squared is correct now that I see it laid out

It's all part of the big illusion that we perpetuate on ourselves and in turn is perpetuated upon us. When we believe, we engage the illusion. When we stop believing we shatter the illusion and shatter ourselves in the process. Because we are, part of it.
