= (x+1/2)(x-1/2 x + 1/4)
=(x+1/2)(1/2x + 1/4)
=x(1/2x + 1/4) + 1/2(1/2x+1/4)
=1/2 x^2 + 1/4 x + 1/4 x + 1/8
= x^2/2 + 1/2 x + 1/8
\(\left(x-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\left(x-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)\)
\(=\left(x+\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{8}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2+\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{8}\)
