What is the square of one half?

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

One-half squared is one-fourth.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide fractions, you multiply the first term by the reciprocal of the second term. In this example, instead of multiplying 1/2 by 1/4, you now multiply 1/2 by 4. Therefore, one half is equal to 2 fourths.

How do you solve for the quotient of (x^-1) - 1 ÷ x - 1?

Ber [7]

$\bf x^{-1}-1\div x-1\implies \implies \cfrac{1}{x}-1\div x-1\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{x}-1}{~~x-1~~}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{1-x}{x}~~}{\frac{x-1}{1}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{1-x}{x}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x-1}\implies \cfrac{-(\begin{matrix} x-1 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix})}{x}\cdot \cfrac{1}{\begin{matrix} x-1 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}}\implies -\cfrac{1}{x}\implies -x^{-1}$
