Answer:

x₁ = -4

x₂ = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+ x + 12 = 0

x = {-1±√((1²)-(4*1*-12))} / (2*1)

x = {-1±√(1+48)} / 2

x = {-1±√49} / 2

x = {-1±7} / 2

x₁ = {-1-7} / 2 = -8/2 = -4

x₂ = {-1+7} / 2 = 6/2 = 3

Check:

x₁

-4² + (-4) - 12 = 0

16 - 4 - 12 = 0

x₂

3² + 3 - 12 = 0

9 + 3 - 12 = 0

The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university recieves daily requests to replace florecent lightbulbs. The d

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

68-95-99.7 rule

68% of all values lie within the 1 standard deviation from mean $(\mu-\sigma,\mu+\sigma)$

95% of all values lie within the 1 standard deviation from mean $(\mu-1\sigma,\mu+1\sigma)$

99.7% of all values lie within the 1 standard deviation from mean $(\mu-3\sigma,\mu+3\sigma)$

The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 55 and a standard deviation of 4.

$\mu = 55\\\sigma = 4$

68% of all values lie within the 1 standard deviation from mean $(\mu-\sigma,\mu+\sigma)$ = $(55-4,55+4)$ = $(51,59)$

95% of all values lie within the 2 standard deviation from mean $(\mu-1\sigma,\mu+1\sigma)$ = $(55-2(4),55+2(4))$ = $(47,63)$

99.7% of all values lie within the 3 standard deviation from mean $(\mu-3\sigma,\mu+3\sigma)$ = $(55-3(4),55+3(4))$ = $(43,67)$

Refer the attached figure

P(43<x<55)=2.5%+13.5%+34%=50%

Hence The approximate percentage of light bulb replacement requests numbering between 43 and 55 is 50%
