Learning Task 1: Evaluate the following expressions using GEMDAS or PEMDAS rule.
1. 10 - 2 + 6 = 3
2: (8 + 2) - (9-22)
3. 32-15 5 + (6 + 4)
4. 5 + 2 - 3
5. 20 - 5 x 4 + 1
6) 8 x 2 - 4 + 2 + 6
7) (-3)2 - 6 + 3
8) 9 x 8 - 36 - 4
9) 3 + 2 + 8 = 4 (4 - 2)
10) 16 - 62 + 36

Me on this one i will give you 20pts. answer should be in detail . this is the discussion topic. one of the most fiercely debated topics in sports is the hot hand theory. the hot hand theory says that success breeds success. in other words, rather than each shot a basketball player takes or each at-bat a baseball player has being an independent event, the outcome of one event affects the next event. that is, a player can get hot and make a lot of shots in a row or get a lot of hits in a row. the hot hand theory, however, has been shown to be false in numerous academic studies. read this article, which discusses the hot hand theory as it relates to a professional basketball player. state whether you agree or disagree with the hot hand theory, and give reasons for your opinion. be sure to use some of the terms you’ve learned in this unit, such as independent event, dependent event, and conditional probability, in your answer.

Astudent draws two parabolas on graph paper. both parabolas cross the x-axis at (-4, 0) and (6,0). the y-intercept of thefirst parabola is (0, –12). the y-intercept of the second parabola is (0-24). what is the positive difference between the avalues for the two functions that describe the parabolas? write your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.

If a is a nonzero real number then the reciprocal of a is
