Answer:
-4a^2+7a+4 , a=2 or -1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Take -4 + 3a2 from 7a - a2
It means 7a -a^2 - (-4+3a^2)
7a -a^2 +4-3a^2
7a -a^2-3a^2+4
7a -4a^2+4
-4a^2+7a+4
-4a^2+8a-a+4
-4a^2-a+8a+4
-a(4a+1)+2(4a+1)
(-a+2)(4a+1) =0
-a+2=0 4a+1=0
-a=-2 4a=-1
-a/-1=-2/-1 a=-1/4
a=2 or -1/4
As we can find that
-8² is -8 x -8 and -7² is -7 x -7
It has the same meaning with rules of positive and negative numbers operation in math :
- If a negative value timed/divided by a negative value, the result is a positive value.
- if a positive value timed/divided by a negative value or vice versa, the result is a negative value.
