would it be -.2P?

Order of Operations. . . .PEMODAOSLTR

You have Pi on the brain.

If P is an independent variable, and the paretheses imply multiplication (versus P being a function of a seperate independent variable evaluated at the constant .5)

then -.2P is the answer.

Ok, that's what I thought.... I'm just getting the wrong answer to my complete solution so my error is somewhere else.

thanks.
