Question

Can you pls help me with this question

Answer 1

`(1)/(4)`

Explanation:

Originally our equation looks like
`x^(2)` + 2y

First, we want to substitute x =
`(1)/(2)` & y= 0 into the equation.

The equation now looks like
`(`
`(1)/(2)`
`)^(2)` + 2 x 0

The brackets are added to the fraction as we are squaring the WHOLE fraction, and the 2y has a hidden multiplication sign, with it being 2 x y, so it is 2 x 0.

Now that we have our values substituted into the equation, we can solve it!

`(`
`(1)/(2)`
`)^(2)` =
`(1)/(4)`

therefore,

`(1)/(4)` + 2 x 0

=
`(1)/(4)`
