Answer:

D. -17/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 - 4 (1/2 + 1)^2

First we evaluate what is inside the parentheses

1/2 - 4  (3/2) ^2

Now we square what is inside the parentheses

1/2 - 4(9/4)

Now multiply

1/2 -9

Get a common denominator  9 = 9 *2/2 = 18/2

1/2 - 18/2

-17/2

Use PEMDAS:

P Parentheses first

E Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)

MD Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)

AS Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\dfrac{1}{2}-4\left(\dfrac{1}{2}+1\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}-4\left(1\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}-4\left(\dfrac{1\cdot2+1}{2}\right)^2\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}-4\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}-4\cdot\dfrac{3^2}{2^2}=\dfrac{1}{2}-4\cdot\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{1}{2}-1\cdot\dfrac{9}{1}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}-9=\boxed{-8\dfrac{1}{2}=-\dfrac{8\cdot2+1}{2}=\boxed{-\dfrac{17}{2}}}\to\boxed{D.}

PLS ANSWER: What is the monomial if a cube of a monomial is: 1/8 a^27
Katarina [22]

Answer:

\frac{a^{9} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

A monomial is a type of polynomial that has only one term and when there are two terms in the polynomial then it is called binomial.

Say for example (ax) is a monomial and (ax + b) is a binomial.

In our case the cube of a monomial is \frac{a^{27} }{8}

Therefore, the monomial will be \sqrt[3]{\frac{a^{27} }{8}} =\frac{a^{9} }{2} (Answer)
