simplify (2-5/2)^2

Solution

simplify

(2 - \frac{5}{2})^{2}

Solution

\frac{1}{4}

+1

Solution steps

(2 - \frac{5}{2})^{2}

2 - \frac{5}{2} = - \frac{1}{2}

= (- \frac{1}{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

if

n

is even

(- \frac{1}{2})^{2} = (\frac{1}{2})^{2}

= (\frac{1}{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 ^{2}}{2 ^{2}}

1^{2} = 1

= \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

2^{2} = 4

= \frac{1}{4}
