simplify (-1/2 x)^2

Solution

simplify

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

Solution

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

Solution steps

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

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

if

n

is even

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

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

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

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

= \frac{1}{4} x^{2}

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} x^{2} : \frac{x ^{2}}{4}

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