a) Ta có:
\(A=2x^2-3x-7+4y^2-8y=2\left(x^2-2.x.\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{9}{16}\right)+\left(2y\right)^2-2.2y.2+4-\dfrac{97}{8}\)\(\Leftrightarrow A=2\left(x-\dfrac{3}{4}\right)^2+\left(2y-2\right)^2-\dfrac{97}{8}\ge0+0-\dfrac{97}{8}=\dfrac{-97}{8}\)
Vậy \(A_{min}=\dfrac{-97}{8}\), đạt được khi và chỉ khi \(x=\dfrac{3}{4},y=1\)
