Answer:

4

Explanation:


((1)/(2))^2*(3*5-3)+1^3

This is an order of operations problem. II'll use using PEMDAS here:

  1. P: Evaluate expressions in parenthesis first
  2. E: Evaluate terms with exponents
  3. MD: Evaluate multiplication and division from left to right
  4. AS: Evaluate addition and subtraction from left to right

Parenthesis first. The first expression in parenthesis is already as simplified as it gets, so up next is the second one:


3*5-3

There are no parenthesis and there are no exponents, so do the multiplication first.


\rightarrow 3*5-3\\\rightarrow 15-3\\\rightarrow 12

Back to the original expression and we now have:


((1)/(2))^2*(12)+1^3

Exponents comes next:


\rightarrow ((1)/(2))^2=(1^2)/(2^2)=(1)/(4)\\\\\rightarrow 1^3=1

Now we have:


(1)/(4)*12+1

Multiplication comes next:


\rightarrow (1)/(4)*12=(1)/(4)*(12)/(1)=(12)/(4)=3\\\\3+1

Finally, addition.


3+1=4
