Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

n represents the number

n = -12 + n2 reorder terms

n = n2 - 12 subtract n from both sides

0 = n2 - n - 12 FOIL

0 = (n - 4)(n + 3)

(-3,4)

So the only 2 numbers that could be 12 less than its square are -3 and 4, but I am pretty sure that they want positive numbers, so I would go with 4.

Is it 4? Because the square of it is 16 and 16-12 = 4

If the vertex of a parabola is (-4, 6) and another point on the curve is (-3, 14), what is the coefficient of the squared expres

Luda [366]

$\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array}\qquad\qquad vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
vertex\ (-4,6)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
h=-4\\
k=6
\end{cases}\implies y=a(x-(-4))^2+6
\\\\\\
y=a(x+4)^2+6
\\\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
x=-3\\
y=14
\end{cases}\implies 14=a(-3+4)^2+6$

solve for "a"
