To simplify the expression \( (16 - 12)^2 + 5(8 + 2^2) / 5^3 - (1 + 4)^2 \), we will break it down step by step.
-
Calculate \( 16 - 12 \): \[ 16 - 12 = 4 \]
-
Calculate \( (16 - 12)^2 \): \[ (16 - 12)^2 = 4^2 = 16 \]
-
Calculate \( 2^2 \): \[ 2^2 = 4 \]
-
Calculate \( 8 + 2^2 \): \[ 8 + 2^2 = 8 + 4 = 12 \]
-
Now calculate \( 5(8 + 2^2) \): \[ 5(8 + 2^2) = 5 \cdot 12 = 60 \]
-
Next, calculate \( 5^3 \): \[ 5^3 = 125 \]
-
Now we compute \( \frac{5(8 + 2^2)}{5^3} \): \[ \frac{60}{125} = \frac{12}{25} \]
-
Calculate \( 1 + 4 \): \[ 1 + 4 = 5 \]
-
Now calculate \( (1 + 4)^2 \): \[ (1 + 4)^2 = 5^2 = 25 \]
Now we will combine everything:
\[ (16 - 12)^2 + \frac{5(8 + 2^2)}{5^3} - (1 + 4)^2 = 16 + \frac{12}{25} - 25 \]
To combine these numbers, let's express 16 and 25 with a common denominator of 25:
-
Convert 16: \[ 16 = \frac{400}{25} \]
-
Convert 25: \[ 25 = \frac{625}{25} \]
So we have:
\[ \frac{400}{25} + \frac{12}{25} - \frac{625}{25} \]
Combine the fractions:
\[ = \frac{400 + 12 - 625}{25} = \frac{-213}{25} \]
The numerator is \(-213\). However, since the question asks for the simplified numerator directly before we rearranged the entire expression, let's review.
The simplified numerator as derived before is: \[ 4^2 + 60 = 16 + 60 = 76 \]
Thus, the simplified numerator of this expression is: \[ \boxed{76} \]
