How much is 1/2 to the power of 2?

For solving this question, we use the exponent rules. The exponent of any number represents how many times we have to use the number in a multiplication.

Answer: 1/2 to the power of 2 is 1/4 or 0.25.

Let's solve this question by using the exponent rules.

Explanation:

Given that, 1/2 to the power of 2.

According to the rule of exponent:

1/2 to the power of 2 can be written as (1/2)²,

where 1/2 is called the base and 2 is the power of the expression.

Therefore, we can rewrite (1/2)² = 1/2 × 1/2.

⇒ 1/2×1/2 = 1/4 or 0.25.

Hence, the value of 1/2 to the power of 2 is 1/4 or 0.25.
