A land owner is planning to build a fenced-in, rectangular patio behind his garage, using his garage as one of the "walls." He w

ants to maximize the area using 80 feet of fencing. The quadratic function A(x)=x(80−2x) gives the area of the patio, where x is the width of one side. Find the maximum area of the patio.

Answer:  800 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets remove the brackets from the function's expression

A(x) = -2x²+80x

So we got the quadratic function and we have to find the x that corresponds to function's maximum. Let it be X max

As we know Xmax= (X1+X2)/2 , where X1 and X2 are the roots of the function A(x)

Lets find X1 and X2

x(80-2x)=0

x1=0   80-2*X2=0

x2=40

So Xmax= (0+40)/2=20

So Amax= A(20)= 20*(80-2*20)=20*40=800 feet²

Last Wednesday, a random sample of 24 students were surveyed to find how long it takes to walk from the Fretwell Building to the
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We are to investigate the confidence interval of 95% for the population mean of walking times from Fretwell Building to the college of education building.

- The survey team took a sample of size n = 24 students and obtained the following results:

                Sample mean ( x^ ) = 12.3 mins

                Sample standard deviation ( s ) = 3.2 mins

- The sample taken was random and independent. We can assume normality of the sample.

- First we compute the critical value for the statistics.

- The z-distribution is a function of two inputs as follows:

  • Significance Level  ( α / 2 ) = ( 1 - CI ) / 2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Compute: z-critical = z_0.025 = +/- 1.96

- The confidence interval for the population mean ( u ) of  walking times is given below:

                      [ x^ - z-critical*s / √n  ,   x^ + z-critical*s / √n  ]

Answer:        [ 12.3 - 1.96*3.2 / √24  ,  12.3 + 1.96*3.2 / √24  ]
