1. Stating the problem: Calculate the value of the expression
$$\frac{\left(\frac{3}{7} + \frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \cdot \left(2 - \frac{1}{3}\right)^2 - 1}{\left(\frac{1}{6} - 1\right)^2}$$
2. Calculate each part step-by-step.
3. Sum inside the first parentheses:
$$\frac{3}{7} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3 \cdot 2}{7 \cdot 2} + \frac{1 \cdot 7}{2 \cdot 7} = \frac{6}{14} + \frac{7}{14} = \frac{13}{14}$$
4. Square the sum:
$$\left(\frac{13}{14}\right)^2 = \frac{169}{196}$$
5. Calculate inside the second parentheses:
$$2 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$$
6. Square the difference:
$$\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{25}{9}$$
7. Multiply the squared terms:
$$\frac{169}{\cancel{196}} \cdot \frac{25}{\cancel{9}} = \frac{169 \cdot 25}{196 \cdot 9} = \frac{4225}{1764}$$
8. Subtract 1:
$$\frac{4225}{1764} - 1 = \frac{4225}{1764} - \frac{1764}{1764} = \frac{4225 - 1764}{1764} = \frac{2461}{1764}$$
9. Calculate denominator:
$$\frac{1}{6} - 1 = \frac{1}{6} - \frac{6}{6} = -\frac{5}{6}$$
10. Square denominator:
$$\left(-\frac{5}{6}\right)^2 = \frac{25}{36}$$
11. Divide numerator by denominator:
$$\frac{\frac{2461}{1764}}{\frac{25}{36}} = \frac{2461}{1764} \cdot \frac{36}{25} = \frac{2461 \cdot 36}{1764 \cdot 25}$$
12. Simplify fraction by canceling common factors:
$$\frac{2461 \cdot \cancel{36}}{\cancel{1764} \cdot 25} = \frac{2461 \cdot 36}{1764 \cdot 25}$$
Note: 1764 = 36 \times 49, so cancel 36:
$$= \frac{2461}{49 \cdot 25} = \frac{2461}{1225}$$
13. Final answer:
$$\boxed{\frac{2461}{1225}}$$
This is the simplified exact value of the expression.
