You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5 - 6 \cdot \frac{1}{2} + {\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[5 - 6 \cdot \frac{1}{2} + {\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2} = \frac{9}{4} = 2.25\]

\[\begin{aligned}5 - 6 \cdot \frac{1}{2} + {\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}& = 5 - \frac{6}{2} + \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}\\& = 5 - 3 + \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}\\& = 5 - 3 + \frac{1}{4}\\& = 2 + \frac{1}{4}\\& = \frac{9}{4}\end{aligned}\]
