Solve -3{left(1/4right)}^1+2

$$-3 { \left( \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \right) }^{ 1 } +2$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{4}=1.25$$

Solution Steps

Calculate \frac{1}{4} to the power of 1 and get \frac{1}{4}.

$$-3\times \frac{1}{4}+2$$

Multiply -3 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{-3}{4}.

$$\frac{-3}{4}+2$$

Fraction \frac{-3}{4} can be rewritten as -\frac{3}{4} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{3}{4}+2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{8}{4}.

$$-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{8}{4}$$

Since -\frac{3}{4} and \frac{8}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-3+8}{4}$$

Add -3 and 8 to get 5.

$$\frac{5}{4}$$
