parentheses

Examples of parentheses in the following topics:

• Parentheses

• Parentheses

  • Parentheses can be used to interject remarks or other information into a sentence.
  • Parentheses may also be nested (usually with one set (such as this) inside another set).
  • When several sentences of supplemental material are used in parentheses, the ending punctuation is placed within the parentheses.
  • Parentheses are sometimes used to enclose numbers within a sentence.
  • The numbers within parentheses highlight the items applicants need to include.

• Interval Notation

  • Interval notation uses parentheses and brackets to describe sets of real numbers and their endpoints.
  • An open interval does not include its endpoints and is indicated with parentheses.
  • A closed interval includes its endpoints and is denoted with square brackets rather than parentheses.

• Compound Themes

  • If the phrase prolongs tonic, the entire phrase should be placed within parentheses or curly brackets.
  • The (S) D T of the cadential progression will always stand on its own as a functional progression, and should never be placed in parentheses or brackets indicating tonic prolongation.
  • Once the cadential progression is identified, everything before it should be analyzed as tonic prolongation: either parentheses for contrapuntal prolongations or curly brackets for subsidiary progressions.
  • Keep in mind that every non-tonic chord inside those parentheses should have a postscript ("n" for neighbor chord, "p" for passing chord, etc., according to the pattern of the bass voice).

• Graphing Quadratic Equations in Vertex Form

  • Now the expression in the parentheses is a square; we can write $y=(x+2)^2+2.$ Our equation is now in vertex form and we can see that the vertex is $(-2,2).$
  • We then complete the square within the parentheses.
  • So we add and subtract $9$ within the parentheses, obtaining:

• Negative Exponents

  • Therefore, we can simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
  • Now place this value back into the parentheses, and apply the rule for raising an exponential expression to an exponent:

• Introduction

  • As Smith and Ragan (1999) have pointed out, "any 'cognitive' or 'psychomotor' objective has some affective component to it (if at no deeper level than a willingness to sufficiently interact with learning resources to achieve the learning)" (p. 250, parentheses in original).

• The Order of Operations

  • Here we have an expression that involves subtraction, parentheses, multiplication, addition, and exponentiation.
  • Following the order of operations, we simplify the expression within the parentheses first and then simplify the exponent; next, we perform the subtraction and addition operations in the order in which they appear in the expression:
  • It stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction.

• Formulas of Ionic Compounds

  • The parentheses were used to indicate that OH was a polyatomic ion and came as a "package deal."
  • Parentheses are always used when the compound contains multiples of the polyatomic ion.

• Electrochemical Cell Notation

  • The phase of each chemical (s, l, g, aq) is shown in parentheses.
  • If the electrolytes in the cells are not at standard conditions, concentrations and/or pressure, they are included in parentheses with the phase notation.
