Which of the following is a solution of x^2 - 2x = -8?

1 answer:

6 0

X^2-2x=-8 add 1 to both sides

x^2-2x+1=-7 now the left side is a perfect square

(x-1)^2=-7 take the square root of both sides

x-1=±√-7 add 1 to both sides

x=1±√-7 which is

x=1±i√7 so

x=1+i√7 and 1-i√7

Standard normal curve between z=.42 and z=1.92<br> a= .6902<br> b= .3098<br> c= .1902<br> d= .8098

soldier1979 [14.2K]

The correct answer is Choice B: 0.3098.

To find the answer, you have to use a normal distribution table. Look up the percents for each z-score and subtract them to find the region between.

z = 1.92 the percent is 0.9726

z = 0.42 the percent is 0.6628

0.9726 - 0.6628 = 0.3098
