Respuesta :

The answer is 1/4 + - 1/2, which equals -1/4 as the answer.

Answer:

The value of the expression for a = 1\2 and b =-1\2 is [tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

[tex]a^2 + b[/tex]

We need to solve the value of expression for a = 1\2 and b =-1\2.

Substitute the value a and b in the provided expression.

[tex](\frac{1}{2})^2 + \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

Solve the above expression as shown:

[tex]\frac{1}{4} +\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1-2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex]

Hence, the value of the expression for a = 1\2 and b =-1\2 is [tex]\frac{-1}{4}[/tex].
