The expression in the image is:

\[ h - \frac{(h^2 - 1)}{2}; \, h = -1 \]

This equation assigns the value \( h = -1 \) and involves applying this value to the expression given.

**Explanation:**

1. **Expression:** The mathematical expression consists of a variable \( h \), which has been substituted with the value \(-1\).
2. **Components:**
   - \( h \) represents the variable.
   - \((h^2 - 1)\) is the quadratic expression inside the parentheses.
   - The division by 2 is applied to the quadratic expression.
3. **Operation Steps:** 
   - Substitute \( h = -1 \) into the expression.
   - Calculate \( (-1)^2 - 1 \).
   - Divide the result by 2.

This expression evaluates a specific mathematical function with a given value for \( h \).
