Answer:

the positive number is equal to  6.

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question which says A positive number is 30 less than its square. Find the number.

let the number be "n"

and the square of the number = n²

So, we have  the expression to be

n = n²-30

n ²-30 -n =0

Re-arrange the equation

n²-n-30=0

the factors of -30 are 5 and -6

so we have

(n+5)(n-6)=0

n+5 =0

n = -5

or

n-6 =0

n = 6

therefore the number can either be -5 or 6.

note we are asked to find the positive number , so the positive number is 6

Let f(x)=−1/4(x+4)^2−8 . What is the average rate of change for the quadratic function from x=−2 to x = 2? Enter your answer in
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Average rate of change of function is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x)=\frac{-1}{4}(x+4)^2-8.

we have to find the average rate of change for the quadratic function from x=−2 to x = 2.

f(-2)=\frac{-1}{4}(-2+4)^2-8=\frac{-1}{4}(4)-8=-9

f(2)=\frac{-1}{4}(2+4)^2-8=\frac{-1}{4}(36)-8=-17

The average rate of change of the function  f(x) on interval [-2,2] is

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{f(2)-f(-2)}{2-(-2)}=\frac{-17-(-9)}{4}=\frac{-8}{4}=-2

How do you solve this? Matt had some candy to give to his four children. He first took two pieces for himself and then evenly di
Rasek [7]

You work it backwards.

-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.

-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself. 
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.

Answer : 11^9
Explanation: when you’re dividing powers, you substract them, so in this case it is 6-2 and you’ll get 11^4. Then you need to multiply, when you’re multiplying you are adding powers. In this case you add 4 and 5 and get 11^9
