simplify (x-1/4)(x-1/2)

simplify

(x - \frac{1}{4}) (x - \frac{1}{2})

\frac{( 4 x - 1 ) ( 2 x - 1 )}{8}

Solution steps

(x - \frac{1}{4}) (x - \frac{1}{2})

Simplify

x - \frac{1}{4} : \frac{4 x - 1}{4}

= \frac{4 x - 1}{4} (x - \frac{1}{2})

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{( 4 x - 1 ) ( x - \frac{1}{2} )}{4}

Simplify

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

= \frac{\frac{( 4 x - 1 ) ( x \cdot 2 - 1 )}{2}}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{( 4 x - 1 ) ( x \cdot 2 - 1 )}{2 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{( 4 x - 1 ) ( x \cdot 2 - 1 )}{8}

= \frac{( 4 x - 1 ) ( 2 x - 1 )}{8}

\frac{( 1 + sin ( θ ) - cos ( θ ) ) ^{2}}{2 ( 1 - cos ( θ ) )}

(3 - x - 2)^{2}

\frac{( 2 x - 5 ) ^{5}}{( 2 x - 1 ) ^{4}}

\frac{5 s}{( s - 2 ) ^{3}}

\frac{4 s}{( s ^{2} + 4 ) ^{2}}
