simplify 1/2*(1/4)^2

Solution

simplify

\frac{1}{2} \cdot (\frac{1}{4})^{2}

Solution

\frac{1}{32}

+1

Solution steps

\frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{4})^{2}

Factor the number:

\frac{1}{4} = (\frac{1}{2})^{2}

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

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}, a \geq 0

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

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2})^{4}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

\frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2})^{4} = (\frac{1}{2})^{1 + 4}

= (\frac{1}{2})^{1 + 4}

Add the numbers:

1 + 4 = 5

= (\frac{1}{2})^{5}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

1^{5} = 1

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

2^{5} = 32

= \frac{1}{32}
