Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Chapter 3.1, Problem 86E

The bar graph Shows the ratings of American Idol from season 1 (2002) through season 12 (2013).

American Idol: Each Season’s Champion and Average Number of Viewers

Chapter 3.1, Problem 86E, The bar graph Shows the ratings of American Idol from season 1 (2002) through season 12 (2013).

Source: Nielsen

a. Let x represent American Idol's season number and let y represent the average number of viewers, in millions. Use a graphing utility to draw a scatter plot of the data. Explain why a quadratic function is appropriate for modeling these data.

b. Use the quadratic regression feature to find the quadratic function that best fits the data. Round all numbers to two decimal places.

c. Use the model in part (b) to determine the season in which American Idol had the greatest number of viewers. Round to the nearest whole number. According to the model, how many millions of viewers were there in that season? Round to one decimal place.

d. How do the results obtained from the model in part (c) compare with the data displayed by the graph?

e. Use a graphing utility to draw a scatter plot of the data and graph the quadratic function of best fit on the scatter plot. Can you see why projections based on the graph had the producers of American Idol looking for a shake-up? No shake-up was found and the show's final season aired in 2016.
