well, is noteworthy that an x-intercept is when y = 0 or namely is a solution or root of the quadratic, so we know then that the x-intercepts or solutions are at (-1,0) and (3,0), that simply means that

Answer:
a)
And rounded up we have that n=4906
b) For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion 
And rounded up we have that n=6724
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to remember that the confidence interval for the true proportion is given by :
Part a
The estimated proportion for this case is 
Our interval is at 90% of confidence, and the significance level is given by
and
. The critical values for this case are:
The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:
(a)
The margin of error desired is given
and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
(b)
Replacing we got:
And rounded up we have that n=4906
Part b
For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion 
And rounded up we have that n=6724
Answer:
b=36-d
Step-by-step explanation:
b=balloons after being popped
d=balloons popped
<span>A(x) = x 2 - 12x + 36
</span><span>A(x) = (x -6)^2
answer: length of a side of the square = x - 6</span>
