simplify-1/2 (2)^{-1}

Solution

simplify

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

Solution

- \frac{1}{4}

+1

Decimal Notation

- 0.25

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- 1} = \frac{1}{a}

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

aa = a^{2}

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

= - (\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}}

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

1^{2} = 1

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

2^{2} = 4

= - \frac{1}{4}
