Which are the solutions of the quadratic equation? x2 = –5x – 3 –5, 0 StartFraction negative 5 minus StartRoot 13 EndRoot Over 2

boyakko [2]

Given:

The quadratic equation is $x^{2}=-5 x-3$

We need to determine the solutions of the quadratic equation.

Solution:

Let us solve the equation to determine the value of x.

Adding both sides of the equation by 5x and 3, we get;

$x^{2}+5 x+3=0$

The solution of the equation can be determined using quadratic formula.

Thus, we get;

$x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^{2}-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3}}{2 \cdot 1}$

$x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{25-12}}{2 }$

$x=\frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{13}}{2 }$

Thus, the two roots of the equation are $x=\frac{-5 + \sqrt{13}}{2 }$ and $x=\frac{-5- \sqrt{13}}{2 }$

Hence, the solutions of the equation are $x=\frac{-5 + \sqrt{13}}{2 }$ and $x=\frac{-5- \sqrt{13}}{2 }$

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Tera had the higher z-score, so she should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z- score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem:

Whoever has the higher z-score should get the job.

Brittany:

Scored 88.3, mean 63.1, standard deviation 14. So

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

$Z = \frac{88.3 - 63.1}{14}$
