Answer:
The coefficient is "12"
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Encircle the variable along with its power whose coefficient we are finding.
Step 2: Leave that variable and consider all other numbers or variables written with it. That will be the coefficient.
-8
f(-1/2)=10(-1/2)-3
f(-1/2)=(-5)-3
f(-1/2)=-8
2x^2 + 3xy - 4y^2 when x = 2 and y = -4
= 2(2)^2 + 3(2)(-4) - 4(-4)^2 = 2(4) + (-24) - 4(16) = 8 - 24 - 64 = -80
