To write the given quadratic equation to its vertex form, we first form a perfect square.
x² - 2x + 5 = 0
Transpose the constant to other side of the equation,
x² - 2x = -5
Complete the square in the left side of the equation,
x² - 2x + (-2/1(2))² = -5 + (-2/1(2))²
Performed the operation,
x² - 2x + 1 = -5 + 1
Factor the left side of the equation,
(x - 1)² = -4
Thus, the vertex form of the equation is,
<em> (x-1)² + 4 = 0</em>
0.0307 or what are you giving us here?
C d e are correct...hope this helps
Note that 60 minutes is 1 standard deviation away from the mean and from recalling the 68-95-99.7 rule, the area that will remain is (100 - 68) = 32%. However, we only want the leftmost portion of this area, so the answer is 32%/2 = 16%.
