= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2}

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2} : - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{1 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 1 = 1

= \frac{1}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{1}{4}

\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{4}

\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{3 3}{2 \cdot 2}

33 = 3

33

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

33 = 3

= 3

= \frac{3}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{3}{4}

= \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{4}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{1 - 3}{4}

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 3 = - 2

= \frac{- 2}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{1}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2}
