Full solution

Q. Evaluate.\newline(114)2= \left(-1 \frac{1}{4}\right)^{2}=
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe need to find the square of the fraction 14-\frac{1}{4}, which means multiplying the fraction by itself.
  2. Convert to improper fraction: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.\newline114-1\frac{1}{4} can be written as 54-\frac{5}{4} because 114=114=4414=54-1\frac{1}{4} = -1 - \frac{1}{4} = -\frac{4}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = -\frac{5}{4}.
  3. Square the fraction: Square the improper fraction.\newline(54)2(-\frac{5}{4})^{2} means (54)×(54)(-\frac{5}{4}) \times (-\frac{5}{4}).
  4. Multiply numerators and denominators: Multiply the numerators and the denominators separately.(5)×(5)=25(-5) \times (-5) = 25 and 4×4=164 \times 4 = 16.
  5. Write down the result: Write down the result of the squaring. 2516\frac{25}{16} is the result of (54)2(-\frac{5}{4})^{2}.
