Answer:

D. (x - 2)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 4x + 4 = x² - 2x - 2x +4

= x(x-2) - 2(x - 2)

= (x-2)(x-2)

HINT: - 2x +4 = -2 * x + (-2) * (-2) = -2 ( x -2)

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

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

Saira is using the formula for the area of a circle to determine the value of LaTeX: \piπ. She is using the expression LaTeX: Ar

lord [1]

Given:

Area of a circle, A=50.265 sq. units.

Radius of circle, r = 4 units.

To find:

The value of π to the nearest thousandth.

Solution:

Formula for area of a circle is

$A=\pi r^2$

$\dfrac{A}{r^2}=\pi$

$Ar^{-2}=\pi$

Now, using $Ar^{-2}$ expression, we can find the value of π.

$\pi=50.265904(4)^{-2}$

$\pi=\dfrac{50.265904}{4^2}$

$\pi=\dfrac{50.265904}{16}$

$\pi=3.141619$

Approximate the value to the nearest thousandth (three digits after decimal).

$\pi\approx 3.142$

Therefore, the approximated value of π is 3.142.
