quick question on calculations

[ighettoboyi]

i know that

Lv = Av*1.84*10^8/[Vb*1728*(Fb/0.159)^2] - 0.823*sqrt(Av)

but does that mean (Av*1.84*10^8) or Av*1.85*[(10^8)/(Vb*1728*(Fb/0.159)^2)] or are they the same?? (sorry i'm kinda out of it and i'm rusty on my order of operations lol)

BEDMAS ...

Step 1 - Brackets
Step 2 - Exponents and Roots
Step 3 - Division and Multiplication
Step 4 - Addition and Subtraction

wow... I havent heard that in such a long time... LOL

mine was PEMDAS
Please excuse my dear aunt sally

or
Parantheses exponents multplication division add subtract

yeg'xactly... bout 17 years... LoL

(Av*1.84*10^8) or Av*1.85*[(10^8)/(Vb*1728*(Fb/0.159)^2)]

those aren't the same (1.84 & 1.85)...off by10^6...

you're saying is:
(A * B * C)/D

the same as

A * B * C/D

answer is yes...

ex:

if A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4,
(1 * 2 * 3)/4 = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5
(1 * 2 * 3/4) = 2 *.75 = 1.5

[sumone]

also, when you divide by a number, you invert & multiply

so (A * B * C) / D =

A * B * C * 1/D

so you can say A/D or B/D or C/D times all the rest..

yea PEMDAS is way cooler. same thing but you remember by "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally".

Parenthesis
Exponent
Multiplication
Diviosion

Theres another thing for that pemdas. I forgot how it goes tho. I think its please something mc donalds blah blah. i forgot

[sumone]

I don't think OoO is the issue here....
