(1) A = pow (( pow (x , 2)) , 1/2)
(2) A = pow ((x , 2) , 1/2)
(3) A = -x , x
(3) would be conventionally considered the correct answer to (1), (2).
Can there be a set of different, genuine answers, and can they be analysed to ascertain which is the accurate and completely precise?
From (1) A = pow (4 , 1/2)
BODMAS commands us to first work in the brackets:
pow (4 , 1/2) = -2 , 2
The next step that we are supposed to follow is work with the power, since the is no presentation of of or division.
Higher order multiplication are powers:
Pow (( -2, 2 ) , 2 ) = 4 , 4
From (2) A = pow (x , 2)
BODMAS commands us to first work in the brackets:
pow ( x , 2) = 4
The next step in the available sequence selection is higher order multiplication (powers):
pow ((4 , 1/2) , 2 ) = 4
Exponent or Power Series
pow ( ( (x , a) , b ) , c ) , d )
= x ^ a ^ b ^ c ^ d
