Let m and n be the roots of the quadratic equation 4x^2 + 5x + 3 = 0.

Find (m + 7)(n + 7).

$$\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline && (m + 7)(n + 7) \\ &=& m\cdot n + 7\cdot (m+n) + 7^2 \\ &=& m\cdot n + 7\cdot (m+n) + 49 \\\\ 4x^2 + 5x + 3 &=& 0 \qquad a = 4,\ b=5,\ c=3 \\ m + n &=& -\frac{ b } { a} \\ &=& -\frac{ 5 } { 4 } \\\\ m\cdot n &=& \frac{ c } { a} \\ &=& \frac{ 3 } { 4 } \\\\ (m + 7)(n + 7) &=& m\cdot n + 7\cdot (m+n) + 49 \\ &=& \frac{ 3 } { 4 } + 7\cdot (-\frac{ 5 } { 4 }) + 49 \\ &=& - \frac{ 32 } { 4 } + 49 \\ &=& -8 + 49 \\ &=& 41 \\ \hline \end{array}$$

(m + 7)(n + 7) = 41
