Hello!
To find the maximum value of the function f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4), the easiest way is to find the vertex using the formula: x = -b/2a.
Firstly, we need to simplify f(x).
f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4)
f(x) = -3(x² - 14x + 40)
f(x) = -3x² + 42x + -120
Since the equation f(x) is now simplified to standard form, we can find the vertex.
a = -3, b = 42, and c = -120
x = -(42)/2(-3) = -42/-6 = 7
Then, we substitute 7 into the the function f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4), or
f(x) = -3x² + 42x + -120, to find the y-value of the vertex.
f(x) = -3(7 - 10)(7 - 4)
f(x) = -3(-3)(4)
f(x) = 27
The vertex of f(x) is (7, 27).
Therefore, the maximum x-value for the function f(x) is 7.
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal
If two lines are perpendicular, then their slopes are opposite reciprocal (the product of their slopes is equal to -1)
we have
----> equation A
isolate the variable y
Divide by 7 both sides
The slope of the line A is 
----> equation B
isolate the variable y
Divide by 3 both sides
The slope of the line B is 
Compare the slope of both lines
so
----> the lines are not parallel
Find the product of the slopes
----> the lines are perpendicular
To calculate for the standard deviation given the
probability, we use the formula:
s = sqrt (n p q)
where s is standard deviation, n is number of samples = 11,
p is probability of success = 0.7, q = 1 – p = 0.30
s = sqrt (11 * 0.7 * 0.3)
