There actually isn't anything to 'work'. There's no question there.
The function simply describes the relationship between two numbers.
It says that whatever you pick for the first number, the second number is
(-4 times the square of the first one) plus (7 times the first one) plus (6) .
Your teacher may have assigned you something to do with the function,
like draw the graph of it, or find its maximum value (2.9375), or find where
it crosses the x-axis (2.381 and -0.63) or the y-axis (6).
But we can't tell what you've been assigned to do with it. The function alone,
just as you've posted it, isn't asking a question, and doesn't call for any work.
Recognize that you must combine "like" terms. 5x^2y and x^2y are "like" terms.
Adding them together, you get 6x^2y.
Now add 2xy^2 to 6x^2y. These are NOT "like" terms, so you end up with
6x^2y+2xy^2 as your final answer. This answer is acceptable as is.
However, you could factor out the common factors: 2xy(3x+y).
Answer:
x=3 and x=-1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
4x^2-7x=15
subtract 15 from each side:
4x^2-7x-15=0
factor (trying different numbers that the sum is 7 and the quotient is 15)
(2x-6 )(2x+2.5 )=0
2x-6=0 add 6 to each side
2x=6
x=3
2x+2.5=0 subtract 2.5 from each side
2x=-2.5
x=-1.25
