The value of the expression is D. 0.

To solve, substitute the values of a and b into the equation. Add or subtract the numbers in the parentheses first. Then, multiply the 1/2 by the number in the first parentheses, and square the number in the second parentheses. Subtract 16 from 16, and your final answer would be 0.

1/2 (18 + 14) - (18 - 14)²
1/2 (32) - (4)²
16 - 16
0

Hope this helps! :)
