Simplify the following:
-(1/2)^2+6/2-4
(1/2)^2 = 1^2/2^2:
-1^2/2^2+6/2-4
1^2 = 1:
-1/2^2+6/2-4
2^2 = 4:
-1/4+6/2-4
6/2 = (2×3)/2 = 3:
-1/4+3-4
Put -1/4+3-4 over the common denominator 4. -1/4+3-4 = -1/4+(4×3)/4+(4 (-4))/4:
-1/4+(4×3)/4+(4 (-4))/4
4×3 = 12:
-1/4+12/4+(4 (-4))/4
4 (-4) = -16:
-1/4+12/4+-16/4
-1/4+12/4-(16)/4 = (-1+12-16)/4:
(-1+12-16)/4
-1+12-16 = 12-(1+16):
12-(1+16)/4
1+16 = 17:
(12-17)/4
12-17 = -(17-12):
-(17-12)/4
