Answer:

Algebraic grouping symbols parentheses, brackets, braces, radicals, and fraction lines show where a group starts and ends, and help to establish the order used to apply math operations. Terms inside a grouping symbol have to be operated upon before they can be acted upon by anything outside the grouping symbol.
