Answer:

The maximum value is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an upside-down parabola, the maximum value occurs at the vertex. Using -b/2a, we can find the x-value of the vertex and use that x value to plug back into the original function to find the maximum value.

x = -b/2a = -(-12)/(2(-6)) = 12/-12 = -1

f(-1) = -6(-1)^2-12(-1)-1 = 5

Answer:

Lower limit = 1007.95 cm/s

Upper limit = 1142.05 cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 95% CI with population's standard deviation known.

The sample is size n=60, with mean M=1075.

The confidence interval can be expressed as:

$M-z*\sigma/\sqrt{n} \leq\mu\leq M+z*\sigma/\sqrt{n}$

For a 95% CI, the value of z=1.96.

$1075-1.96*265/\sqrt{60} \leq\mu\leq 1075+1.96*265/\sqrt{60} \\\\1075-67.05 \leq\mu\leq 1075+67.05\\\\ 1007.95 \leq\mu\leq 1142.05$

What percent of 70 is 10.5? (write your answer as a percent) A) 10.5% Eliminate B) 11.0% C) 12.5% D) 15.0%

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Option D) 15%

Step-by-step explanation: 10.5/70= .15

.15x100=15

It would be easier to think it through if instead for 70 we took the number 100. Lets reword it and say what percent of 100 is 38? This would be easy to answer it would be 38% But how you check it is, you take 38 and divide by the total (100) which is .38 then multiply by 100 you will get 38% Same with your equation take the 10.5 and divide by the total amount which is 70 you will get .15 then multiply by 100. the answer will be 15%
