Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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

1^{2} = 1

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

2^{2} = 4

= 5 \cdot \frac{1}{4}

5 \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}

= \frac{5}{4}

(8)^{2} + (6)^{2}

2^{2} + 2^{2}

\frac{7 π}{2} \cdot \frac{180}{π}

y^{- 2}

3 x^{2} = 48
