Description

Describe what this variable represents, and list any assumptions made about its value.

Can an exam override the value of this variable?

Generated value: `integer`

← Depends on:

This variable doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Advice

First work through the expression from left to right, evaluating any expressions inside brackets, being careful to evaluate powers (indices) before MDAS. Thus:

$[(\var{a}-\var{b} \div \var{c}^\var{d})+\var{e1} \times \var{f}^\var{g}] \div (\var{h} \times \var{i1}^\var{j} -\var{k}) \times [\var{l} -\var{m} \times \var{n} + \var{p} \div \var{q}]$

$=[(\var{a}-\var{b} \div \var{c^d})+\var{e1} \times \var{f^g}] \div (\var{h} \times \var{i1^j} -\var{k}) \times [\var{l} -\var{m} \times \var{n} + \var{p} \div \var{q}]$

$=[(\var{a}-\var{b / (c^d)})+\var{e1*f^g}] \div (\var{h * i1^j} -\var{k}) \times [\var{l} -\var{m*n} + \var{p / q}]$

$=[\var{a-b / (c^d)+e1*f^g}] \div (\var{h * i1^j -k}) \times [\var{l -m*n + p / q}]=\var{t*(l-m*n+s)}$

$\var{a2}+\var{b2} \times (\var{-c2})^\var{d2} +(\var{e2}-\var{f2})^\var{g2}=\var{a2}+\var{b2} \times (\var{(-c2)^d2}) +(\var{e2-f2})^\var{g2}=\var{a2}+\var{b2*((-c2)^d2)} +\var{(e2-f2)^g2}=\var{a2+b2*(-c2)^d2 +(e2-f2)^g2}$
