Write the equation of the following graph in vertex form.
1) f(x) -0.4 (x + 2)(x - 5)
2) f(x) 0.4 (x + 2)(x - 5)
3) f(x) -0.4 (x - 2)(x + 5)
4) f(x) 0.4 (x - 2)(x + 5)

Correct choice is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph of the quadratic function. Now we need to use that graph to find the equation of the graph in vertex form. By the way given choices written in intercept form so to be accurate we are going to find the equation in intercept form.

from graph we see that x-intercepts are at 5 and -2.

we know that if x=a is x-intercept then (x-a) must be factor.

So (x+2)(x-5) is the factor.

when leading coefficient is positive then graph opens upward.

so that means leading coefficient is 0.4

Hence correct choice is 2.

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
