Which equation has the solutions x=1+or-square root of 5?

stiv31 [10]

We will proceed to solve each case to determine the solution of the problem.

<u>case a)</u> $x^{2}+2x+4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+2x=-4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+2x+1=-4+1$

$x^{2}+2x+1=-3$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+1)^{2}=-3$

$(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{-3}\\(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{3}i\\x=-1(+/-)\sqrt{3}i$

therefore

case a) is not the solution of the problem

<u>case b)</u> $x^{2}-2x+4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}-2x=-4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}-2x+1=-4+1$

$x^{2}-2x+1=-3$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-1)^{2}=-3$

$(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{-3}\\(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{3}i\\x=1(+/-)\sqrt{3}i$

therefore

case b) is not the solution of the problem

<u>case c)</u> $x^{2}+2x-4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}+2x=4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}+2x+1=4+1$

$x^{2}+2x+1=5$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+1)^{2}=5$

$(x+1)=(+/-)\sqrt{5}\\x=-1(+/-)\sqrt{5}$

therefore

case c) is not the solution of the problem

<u>case d)</u> $x^{2}-2x-4=0$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$x^{2}-2x=4$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$x^{2}-2x+1=4+1$

$x^{2}-2x+1=5$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x-1)^{2}=5$

$(x-1)=(+/-)\sqrt{5}\\x=1(+/-)\sqrt{5}$

therefore

case d) is the solution of the problem

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$x^{2}-2x-4=0$

Rachael got a 550 on the analytical portion of the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). GRE scores are normally distributed and have mean

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

0.0475

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Area To the left :

P(Z < 550) = 0.0475 ; that is proportion who scored better than of 550 has a Zscore of 0.0475.

Hence, percentage of students who scored better than she did will be 0.0475
