The calculation of mathematics polynomials in Grade Seven (1 + 1 / 2) × (1 + 1 / 2 & # 710; 2) × (1 + 1 / 2 & # 710; 4) × (1 + 1 / 2 & # 710; 8) + 1 / 2 & # 710; 15_ Thank you

Multiply by (1 - / 2) and apply the square difference formula repeatedly
(1+1/2)×(1+1/2ˆ2)×(1+1/2ˆ4)×(1+1/2ˆ8)+1/2ˆ15
=(1-1/2)*(1+1/2)×(1+1/2ˆ2)×(1+1/2ˆ4)×(1+1/2ˆ8)/[(1-1/2)]+1/2ˆ15
=(1-1/2^2)(1+1/2^2)(1+1/2ˆ4)×(1+1/2ˆ8)/[(1-1/2)]+1/2ˆ15
=(1-1/2^4)(1+1/2ˆ4)×(1+1/2ˆ8)/[(1-1/2)]+1/2ˆ15
=(1-1/2ˆ8)×(1+1/2ˆ8)/[(1-1/2)]+1/2ˆ15
=(1-1/2^16)/[(1-1/2)]+1/2ˆ15
=1/2-1/2^15+1/2^15
=1/2
