The maximum value of the function: f(x)= -5 x ^2 +30x-200 is?

Mathematics

Answer:

\displaystyle    - 155

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a quadratic function

\displaystyle f(x) =  - 5 {x}^{2}  + 30x - 200

we want to figure out the minimum value of the function

to do so we need to figure out the minimum value of x in the case we can consider the following formula:

\displaystyle x _{ \rm  min} =  \frac{ - b}{2a}

the given function is in the standard form i.e

\displaystyle f(x) = a {x}^{2}  + bx + c

so we acquire:

  • b=30
  • a=-5

thus substitute:

\displaystyle x _{ \rm  min} =  \frac{ - 30}{2. - 5}

simplify multiplication:

\displaystyle x _{ \rm  min} =  \frac{ - 30}{ - 10}

simply division:

\displaystyle x _{ \rm  min} =  3

plug in the value of minimum x to the given function:

\displaystyle f (3)=  - 5 {(3)}^{2}  + 30.3 - 200

simplify square:

\displaystyle f (3)=  - 5 {(9)}^{}  + 30.3 - 200

simplify multiplication:

\displaystyle f (3)=  - 45  + 90- 200

simplify:

\displaystyle f (3)=   - 155

hence,

the minimum value of the function is -155

Weights were recorded for all nurses at a particular hospital, the mean weight for an individual nurse was 135 lbs. with a stand
Aloiza [94]
Given:
population mean, μ =135
population standard deviation, σ = 15
sample size, n = 19

Assume a large population, say > 100,
we can reasonably assume a normal distribution, and a relatively small sample.
The use of the generally simpler formula is justified.

Estimate of sample mean
\bar{x}=\mu=135

Estimate of sample standard deviation
\s=\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^2}{n}}
=\sqrt{\frac{15^2}{19}}=3.44124  to 5 decimal places.

Thus, using the normal probability table,
P(125
=P(\frac{125-135}{3.44124}
=P(-2.90593
=P(Z
=P(Z

Therefore 
The probability that the mean weight is between 125 and 130 lbs 
P(125<X<130)=0.0731166-0.0018308
=0.0712858
