expand (1-x/2)^2

Solution

expand

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

Solution

\frac{4 - 4 x + x ^{2}}{4}

Solution steps

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

Apply Perfect Square Formula:

(a - b)^{2} = a^{2} - 2 ab + b^{2}

(1 - \frac{x}{2})^{2} = 1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{x}{2} + (\frac{x}{2})^{2}

= 1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{x}{2} + (\frac{x}{2})^{2}

Simplify

1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{x}{2} + (\frac{x}{2})^{2} : \frac{4 - 4 x + x ^{2}}{4}

= \frac{4 - 4 x + x ^{2}}{4}
