Question

What is the value of the expression shown? (1/2)³ - (1/4)² + 1/2

Answer 1

Given data:

The given expression is (1/2)^3 -(1/4)^2 +1/2.

The given expression can be written as,

`\begin{gathered} ((1)/(2))^3-((1)/(4))^2+(1)/(2)=(1)/(8)-(1)/(16)+(1)/(2) \\ =(2-1+8)/(16) \\ =(9)/(16) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the value of given expression is 9/16.
