You need to check in which order your calculator carries out the operations.

\n

If, when you input $2+3 \\times 4$ you get the answer $14$, then your calculator is scientific and will perform multiplication and division before addition and subtraction. If you get the answer $20$ then your calculator is performing operations in the order written.

\n

Be careful with negative numbers. Remember that squaring a negative number gives a positive number. For instance if you are using your calculator to find the square of $-6$ you need to input $(-6)^2$, not $-6^2$.

If $a = \\var{a}, \\ b= \\var{b}$ and  $c= \\var{c}$, use your calculator to work out the value of the following expressions. Round your answer to 2 d. p. where necessary.
