Ac method
for y=ax^2+bx+c
the ac method is normally used for when a≠1
it is used as an aid to help factor

so


0=1x^2-8x+15
multiply a and c (1 times 15=15)
what 2 numbers mulitply to get 15 and add to get -8?
-3 and -5
split the middle up to that
0=1x^2-3x-5x+15
group
0=(x^2-3x)+(-5x+15)
undistribute
0=x(x-3)-5(x-3)
undistribute (x-3)
0=(x-5)(x-3)
set to zero
x-5=0
x=5

x-3=0
x=3

solutions are x= 3 and 5

A teacher found that the mean number of pets, the students in her 5th grade class own, is 3 with a margin of error of 2.5. Const
Phoenix [80]
The margin of error is defined as
E=z^{*} \frac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }
where
σ = population standard deviation
n = sample size
z* =  aconstant that depends on the confidence level. 
        At the 95% confidence level, z* = 1.96.

The confidence interval is calculated as
(μ - E, μ + E)

Given:
μ = 3, the mean number of pets,
E = 2.5, margin of error at the 95% confidence level.
Therefore the 95% confidence interval is
(3 - 2.5, 3 +2.5) = (0.5, 5.5)
Because we can only count whole numbers of pets, the confidence interval is (0, 5).

Answer:
At the 95% confidence level, the 5th graders own between 0  and 5 pets.
