Question

H(8) = -2(8)^2 + 4(8)- 7

Answer 1

Answer:

h = - 103/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Re-order terms so constants are on the left

8h = = -2(8)²+4(8)-7

2) Evaluate the exponent

8h = -2·64+4(8)-7

3) Multiply the numbers

8h = -128+4(8)-7

4) Multiply the numbers

8h = -128+32-7

5) Add the numbers

8h = -103

6) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

8h/8 = -103/8

7) Simplify

- Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

h = -103/8
