Answer:
You cannot simply 64x^2-112x+ 49 further than it is already simplified.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: point estimate = 3.88
Margin of error = 0.63
Step-by-step explanation:
Confidence interval is written in the form,
(Point estimate - margin of error, Point estimate + margin of error)
The sample mean, x is the point estimate for the population mean. Let m represent the margin of error. Since the confidence interval is given as (3.25 , 4.51), it means that
x - m = 3.25
x + m = 4.51
Adding both equations, it becomes
2x = 7.76
x = 7.76/2
x = 3.88
Substituting x = 3.88 into x + m = 4.51, it becomes
3.88 + m = 4.51
m = 4.51 - 3.88
m = 0.63
Expand the squared binomials:
Then
First, we get ax^2+bx+c. Next, we know that the line of symmetry is -b/2a. Since we know that there is a maximum value, the parabola is facing downwards, so a is negative. For random numbers, we can say that a = -0.5 and b=-10 (b needs to be negative for -b/2a to equal -10), getting -0.5x^2-10x+c. Plugging -10 in for x (since -10 is the middle it is the max), we get -50+100=50. Since the maximum needs to be 5, not 50, we subtract 45 from the answer to get it and therefore make c = -45, getting -0.5x^2-10x-45
