Question 15 Use the numbers 3, – 2, 5, – 6 exactly once and the operations ‘+’, ‘’, and ‘×’ exactly once and brackets as necessary to write an expression such that — (a) the result is the maximum possibleWe want to create a large positive number. Try: (𝟑−(−𝟔)) × 𝟓+(−𝟐) =(3+6) × 5−2 =9 × 5−2 =45−2 =𝟒𝟑 Question 15 Use the numbers 3, – 2, 5, – 6 exactly once and the operations ‘+’, ‘’, and ‘×’ exactly once and brackets as necessary to write an expression such that — (b) the result is the minimum possibleWe want to create a large negative number. Try: (𝟑+𝟓) × (−𝟔)−(−𝟐) =8 × (−6)+2 =−48+2 =−𝟒𝟔
