Question1+(14+12)21+\left(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given an expression involving addition and exponentiation.
2. The expression inside the parentheses should be simplified first.
3. The result should be a single number.

STEP 2

1. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: 14+12\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2}.
2. Square the result from Step 1.
3. Add 1 to the squared result.

STEP 3

Simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
14+12 \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2}
To add these fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator for 4 and 2 is 4.
Convert 12\frac{1}{2} to 24\frac{2}{4}:
14+24=34 \frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}

STEP 4

Square the result from Step 1:
(34)2=34×34=916 \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{16}

STEP 5

Add 1 to the squared result:
Convert 1 to a fraction with a denominator of 16:
1=1616 1 = \frac{16}{16}
Now add:
1616+916=2516 \frac{16}{16} + \frac{9}{16} = \frac{25}{16}
Convert 2516\frac{25}{16} to a mixed number:
2516=1916 \frac{25}{16} = 1 \frac{9}{16}
The equivalent number for the expression is:
1916 \boxed{1 \frac{9}{16}}
