Key Concepts

Order of Operations

This concept refers to the rules that determine the sequence in which operations are performed in an expression. In expressions such as -10^2, exponentiation is carried out before the application of the negative sign unless parentheses indicate otherwise.

Exponentiation

Exponentiation is the process of raising a number to a power, which involves multiplying the base by itself a specified number of times. It has a higher precedence compared to negation, meaning that in expressions like -10^2, the power is evaluated first.
