Question

Insert the corresponding expression:

$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=$

00:00 Simply

00:04 According to laws of exponents, a power on the entire fraction with exponent (N)

00:08 equals the numerator and denominator, each raised to the same power (N)

00:11 We will use this formula in our exercise

00:16 Let's calculate each power and substitute, 1 raised to any power is always equal to 1

00:25 And this is the solution to the question
