Answer:

Answer c): write the function in standard form

Step-by-step explanation:

To start with, it is important to write the polynomial in standard form, so as to have the two terms with the dependence in x together:

6x^2-42\,x+5

then you extract 6 as a common factor of just the terms with the variable x:

6(x^2-7x)+5

Then proceed to complete the square in the expression inside the parenthesis:

6(x^2-7x+\frac{49}{4} -\frac{49}{4})+5

6\,((x-\frac{7}{2} )^2-\frac{49}{4} )+5\\6\,(x-\frac{7}{2} )^2-\frac{147}{2}+5\\6\,(x-\frac{7}{2} )^2-\frac{137}{2}

Then, the function can be finally be written as:

f(x)=6\,(x-\frac{7}{2} )^2-\frac{137}{2}

in vertex form

The weight of oranges growing in an orchard is normally distributed with a mean weight of 6.5 oz. and a standard deviation of 1.
sergey [27]
Add 3 standard deviations above and below the mean to get the range in which 99.7% of the data in a normal distribution will fall
6.5 + 4.5 = 11
6.5 - 4.5 = 2
So 2 to 11 ounces would be the interval
