To solve this question, you¨ll need to use a table of the standardized Normal distribution, or you could use a graphing calculator. The answer will be the cumulative property which will be a number with decimals. However, this represents the students who had a lower score then her, You´ll need to subtract this from 1 in order to get the opposite number, which will be the kids who scored higher. Be sure to multiply the result by 100 to get a percentage. Your answer should be 0.806 hope this helped!

When the solutions are going to be complex, which methods can be used to solve quadratic equations?

yKpoI14uk [10]

You could complete the square to state the vertex.
You could use the quadratic equation to find the roots (which are complex).

Try an example that will require both.

y = x^2 + 2x + 5

Step One
Get the graph. That's included below.

Step Two
Provide the steps for completing the square.
Note: we should get (-1,4)

y= (x^2 +2x ) + 5
y = (x^2 +2x + 1) + 5 - 1
y = (x +1)^2 + 4

The vertex is at (-1,4)

Step Three
Find the roots. Use the quadratic equation. Note that the graph shows us that the equation never crosses or touches the x axis. The roots are complex.

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

a = 1
b = 2
c = 5

$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{2^{2} - 4*1*5 } }{2}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 20 } }{2}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt{-16 } }{2}$
$\text{x = }\dfrac{ -2 \pm 4i }{2}$
x = -1 +/- 2i

x1 = -1 + 2i
x2 = -1 - 2i And we are done.
