Math Problem Statement

f(7a) = −2(7a)2 + 3(7a)

Solution

Let's simplify the given function step by step.

The function is given as:

f(7a)=2(7a)2+3(7a)f(7a) = -2(7a)^2 + 3(7a)

  1. Square the term (7a)2(7a)^2:

(7a)2=49a2(7a)^2 = 49a^2

Now substitute this back into the equation:

f(7a)=2(49a2)+3(7a)f(7a) = -2(49a^2) + 3(7a)

  1. Simplify the terms:

f(7a)=98a2+21af(7a) = -98a^2 + 21a

So, the simplified form of the function is:

f(7a)=98a2+21af(7a) = -98a^2 + 21a

  2. What is the derivative of f(7a)=98a2+21af(7a) = -98a^2 + 21a?
  3. What is the maximum or minimum value of f(a)=98a2+21af(a) = -98a^2 + 21a?
  4. How would the function change if the coefficient of a2a^2 was positive?
  5. What happens if we set f(7a)=0f(7a) = 0 and solve for aa?

Tip: Always distribute carefully when simplifying expressions involving parentheses and exponents.
