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,

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

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