Final answer:

To find the resulting ordered pair when the independent variable is -1/2, substitute the value into the given function and simplify the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the resulting ordered pair, we substitute the value of the independent variable (-1/2) into the function f(x) = 12x^2 - 8x.

So, f(-1/2) = 12(-1/2)^2 - 8(-1/2).

By simplifying the expression, we get f(-1/2) = 6 - (-4) = 10.

Therefore, the resulting ordered pair is (-1/2, 10).

f(x)=12x^2-8x
f(-1/2)=12(-1/2)^2-8(-1/2)
f(-1/2)=12(1/4)+4
f(-1/2)=3+4
f(-1/2)=7
