X^2-7x-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-(7/2)^2-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-(7)^2/(2)^2-4=0
(x-7/2)^2-49/4-4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-49-4*4)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-49-16)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2+(-65)/4=0
(x-7/2)^2-65/4=0
(x-7/2)^2-65/4+65/4=0+65/4
(x-7/2)^2=65/4
sqrt[ (x-7/2)^2 ]=+-sqrt(65/4)
x-7/2=+-sqrt(65)/sqrt(4)
x-7/2=+-sqrt(65)/2
x-7/2+7/2=+-sqrt(65)/2+7/2
x=7/2+-sqrt(65)/2
x=[7+-sqrt(65)]/2
x1=[7-sqrt(65)]/2
x2=[7+sqrt(65)]/2

If f(x) = 4x²-2 then f(-2) is​
klemol [59]
To find f(-2), substitute (-2) into x of the function f(x) = 4x^2-2
We get, f(-2) = 4(-2)^2 - 2
= (4*4)-2 = 16-2 = 14
Therefore, f(-2)=14.

Hazel wants to mix 12 pounds of her special blend coffee that will cost her $12.50 per pound. She uses Columbian and Sumatra cof
k0ka [10]
Let x be the amount of Columbian coffee in the mixture and y the amount of Sumatra coffee in the mixture, then
x + y = 1 . . . (1)
9.25x + 14.25y = 12.50 . . . (2)

(1) x 9.25 => 9.25x + 9.25y = 9.25 . . . (3)

(2) - (3) => 5y = 3.25 => y = 3.25/5 = 0.65

From (1), x + 0.65 = 1 => x = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

1 pound of the mixture contains 0.35 Columbian coffee and 0.65 Sumatra coffee
Therefore, 12 pounds of the mixture will contain 0.35 x 12 = 4.2 pounds of Columbian coffee and 0.65 x 12 = 7.8 pounds of Sumatra coffee
