To solve the quadratic equation \( 2x^2 - 2x + \frac{1}{2} = 0 \), we can use the quadratic formula:
\[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \]
Here, the coefficients are:
- \( a = 2 \)
- \( b = -2 \)
- \( c = \frac{1}{2} \)
First, we will calculate the discriminant \( b^2 - 4ac \):
\[ b^2 = (-2)^2 = 4 \] \[ 4ac = 4 \cdot 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 4 \] \[ b^2 - 4ac = 4 - 4 = 0 \]
Since the discriminant is 0, there is one real double root. Now we can use the quadratic formula to find the solution:
\[ x = \frac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{0}}{2 \cdot 2} = \frac{2 \pm 0}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \]
Thus, the solution to the equation \( 2x^2 - 2x + \frac{1}{2} = 0 \) is:
\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{2}} \]
