They are both correct in the context of the calculators' evaluation rules.

What's your stance on implicit multiplication?
Is 1/2πi = πi/2 or 1/2πi = 1/(2πi)
John Gomez
Casio was "wrong".
The standard way to do these operations is the aditions from left to right and then the multiplications from left to right.
Nolan Gonzalez
>your stance
We at Veeky Forums don't take a "stance",
we examine data and develop a theory
to explain those data.

What does the casio say when you put a * after the first 2?

>he needs an acronym to perform basic operations
Daniel Flores
That's why I'm a TI boy
Eli Perez
it's not even an acronym
technically it's a mnemonic
learn the difference

That is one shitty calculator you got there OP
Chase Sullivan
I thought everybody just wrote it out as a fraction and then there is no ambiguity. Why would you type it like that? Is there an actual reason why, other than to make these stupid threads?

No. Most calculators would even give an error for an expression like that

1.
To get 9 you either use a fraction do describe 6:2 or parenthesis. Otherwise, the last number in that division is the one that is multiplied by (2+1)
Jason Powell
you are mistaken. to get 9 the calculation resolves to 6/2 x 3, to get 1 the calculation is 6/(2x3)
an answer of 1 is "more" correct since the order or operations follows left to right, whereas 9 requires you to solve the furthest right multiplication before doing the division
Justin Phillips
that's exactly what I said you illiterate retard.
Samuel Cook
No, PEMDAS is an acronym. "Please excuse my dear aunt Sally" is a mnemonic
Nolan Torres
They both make sense in their respective contexts. When using a calculator, you obviously want order of operations. When designing a smartphone you want to make sure it evaluates from left to right, as they are made for the general brainlet public.
Nathaniel Cruz
you are a retard
i hope for your sake that you don't use that casio
Isaiah Mitchell
If the answer is 9 you have to answer the question by first doing 6/2 then multiplying by (2+1), however, if you are to multiply like that there would have to be parentheses around 6/2 in order to justify it, no way around it. If the answer is 9 then you are able to rewrite the question as (6(2+1))/2 or (6/2)(2+1) when it is obviously not intended to be written as that. Those are just shitty calculators that fuck up when doing basic algebra.

Hey look, it's another "order of operations matters outside of middle school math class" thread
