None of your options, not via complete the square nor quadratic the formula.

Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^2 + 8 x + 9 = 0

x = (-8 ± sqrt(8^2 - 4×9))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(64 - 36))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(28))/2:
x = (-8 + sqrt(28))/2 or x = (-8 - sqrt(28))/2

sqrt(28) = sqrt(4×7) = sqrt(2^2×7) = 2sqrt(7):
x = (2 sqrt(7) - 8)/2 or x = (-2 sqrt(7) - 8)/2

Factor 2 from -8 + 2 sqrt(7) giving 2 (sqrt(7) - 4):
x = 1/22 (sqrt(7) - 4) or x = (-2 sqrt(7) - 8)/2

(2 (sqrt(7) - 4))/2 = sqrt(7) - 4:
x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x = (-2 sqrt(7) - 8)/2

Factor 2 from -8 - 2 sqrt(7) giving 2 (-sqrt(7) - 4):
x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x = 1/22 (-sqrt(7) - 4)

(2 (-sqrt(7) - 4))/2 = -sqrt(7) - 4:

Answer: x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x = -sqrt(7) - 4_____________________________________________________

Solve for x:
x^2 + 8 x + 9 = 0

Subtract 9 from both sides:
x^2 + 8 x = -9

Add 16 to both sides:
x^2 + 8 x + 16 = 7

Write the left hand side as a square:
(x + 4)^2 = 7

Take the square root of both sides:
x + 4 = sqrt(7) or x + 4 = -sqrt(7)

Subtract 4 from both sides:
x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x + 4 = -sqrt(7)

Subtract 4 from both sides:
Answer:  x = sqrt(7) - 4 or x = -4 - sqrt(7)

Ber [7]

Answer:

A customer who sends 78 messages per day would be at 99.38th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Average of 48 texts per day with a standard deviation of 12.

This means that \mu = 48, \sigma = 12

a. A customer who sends 78 messages per day would correspond to what percentile?

The percentile is the p-value of Z when X = 78. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{78 - 48}{12}

Z = 2.5

Z = 2.5 has a p-value of 0.9938.

0.9938*100% = 99.38%.

A customer who sends 78 messages per day would be at 99.38th percentile.
