consider the expression (16-12)^2+5(8+2^2)/5^3-(1+4)^2 what is the simplified numerator

1 answer

Let's simplify the expression step by step. The expression is:

\[ (16-12)^2 + \frac{5(8+2^2)}{5^3} - (1+4)^2 \]

Step 1: Calculate \( (16-12)^2 \) \[ 16 - 12 = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (4)^2 = 16 \]

Step 2: Calculate \( 2^2 \) \[ 2^2 = 4 \]

Step 3: Calculate \( 8 + 2^2 \) \[ 8 + 4 = 12 \]

Step 4: Calculate \( 5(8+2^2) \) \[ 5 \times 12 = 60 \]

Step 5: Calculate \( 5^3 \) \[ 5^3 = 125 \]

Step 6: Calculate \( \frac{5(8+2^2)}{5^3} \) \[ \frac{60}{125} = \frac{12}{25} , \text{(simplified)} \]

Step 7: Calculate \( (1+4)^2 \) \[ 1 + 4 = 5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (5)^2 = 25 \]

Step 8: Now combine all the parts together Now we substitute back into our expression: \[ 16 + \frac{12}{25} - 25 \]

Step 9: Converting \( 16 \) and \( -25 \) to fractions with a denominator of 25 \[ 16 = \frac{16 \times 25}{25} = \frac{400}{25} \] \[ -25 = \frac{-25 \times 25}{25} = \frac{-625}{25} \]

Step 10: Combine the fractions \[ \frac{400}{25} + \frac{12}{25} - \frac{625}{25} = \frac{400 + 12 - 625}{25} = \frac{-213}{25} \]

Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \frac{-213}{25} \]

Therefore, the simplified numerator is: \[ \boxed{-213} \]
