Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6 - 4x - x²

Since the coefficient of the x² term < 0 then parabola has a maximum vertex.

To find the x- coordinate of the vertex

x_{vertex} = - \frac{b}{2a}

with a = - 1 and b = - 4 , then

x_{vertex} = - \frac{-4}{-2} = - 2

The corresponding y- coordinate is found by substituting x = - 2 , that is

6 - 4(- 2) - (- 2)² = 6 + 8 - 4 = 10

vertex = (- 2, 10 )

The maximum value of the function is the y- coordinate of the vertex

Then maximum value is 10

Thus 6 - 4x - x² is never greater than 10

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

4.72 hours/day

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean time spent watching TV (μ) = 2.8 hours a day  

Standard deviation (σ) = 1.5 hours a day

The 90th percentile (upper 10%) of a normal distribution has an equivalent z-score of roughly z = 1.282. The minimum time spent watching TV, X, at the 90th percentile is:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \\1.282=\frac{X-2.8}{1.5}\\ X=4.72\ hours/day  

On a typical day, you must watch at least 4.72 hours of TV to be in the upper 10%.
