Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

y-(a*(x-3)*(x+5))=0

STEP
1
:
Equation at the end of step 1

y - (a • (x - 3) • (x + 5)) = 0
STEP
2
:
Equation at the end of step 2

y - a • (x - 3) • (x + 5) = 0
STEP
3
:
Equation at the end of step 3

y - ax2 - 2ax + 15a = 0
STEP
4
:

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.1 Solve y-ax2-2ax+15a = 0

In this type of equations, having more than one variable (unknown), you have to specify for which variable you want the equation solved.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25  

And rounded up we have that n=421

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sample proportion have the following distribution:

\hat p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.04 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

We assume that a prior estimation for p would be \hat p =0.5 since we don't have any other info provided. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25  

And rounded up we have that n=421
