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

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

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

You have a bag of chocolate candy. Ten of them are red, 7 are brown, 12 are green, and 9 are blue. What is the probability that

Brrunno [24]

It would be $\frac{10}{38}$ , or, in simplest form, $\frac{5}{19}$ .

You get this by adding all the marbles to find the total number of marbles. 10+7+12+9, which equals 38.

You have 10 red marbles out of 38 total, so that is represented by $\frac{10}{38}$ !

Mrs Lim bought a number of plates at an average price of $6. She decided to buy another plate which cost $18. The average price

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of plates bought for $6

Let y represent the Total number of plates bought = x + 1

Remember that Mrs. Lim bought another plate for $18

Total cost ÷ Total plates = Average Cost

$\dfrac{6x+18}{x+1}=8\\$

6x + 18 = 8(x + 1)

6x + 18 = 8x + 8

18 = 2x + 8

10 = 2x

5 = x

y = x + 1

= 5 + 1

= 6
