Answer:

The answer is 1728

Explanation:

Given the expression 5(14 - 2) to the 2nd power over 2, this can be written mathematically as;

{5(14 - 2)}²/2

Step1: we will solve for the function in bracket to have;

{5(12)}²/2

Step 2: we will take the square of the values in bracket since they are both raise to power of 2 to have;

(5²×12²)/2

= 25×144/2

Step 3: simplify the resulting equation to give;

= 24×72

=1728

The simplified form of the expression is 1728
