result of 1/2w squared

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

what happens when you square 1/2w? w is a variable, but could you write it as 0.25w with w written as w squared?

Just replace w with some value (for example, 4) and see how that works out.

Yes, if you square the expression (1/2*w) you will get (1/4*w^2).

Yeah (1/2 * w)^2 is equal to (1/2*w) * (1/2*w). Collect the variables.
