The discriminant of the equation is -20. You use the formula( that's how I solved it)
Discriminant formula- b^2 - 4(a)(c)
Work:
4^2-4(1)(9) = -20
The formula for this is the part of the quadratic formula

Answer:
a. After the first bounce, the ball will be at 85% of 8 ft. After 2 bounces, it'll be at 85% of 85% of 8 feet. After 3 bounces, it'll be at (85% of) (85% of) (85% of 8 feet). You can see where this is going. After n bounces the ball will be at

b. After 8 bounces we can apply the previous formula with n = 8 to get

c. The solution to this point requires using exponential and logarithm equations; a more basic way would be trial and error using the previous
increasing the value of n until we find a good value. I recommend using a spreadsheet for that; the condition will lead to the following inequality:
Let's first isolate the fraction by dividing by 72.
Now, to get numbers we can plug in a calculator, let's take the natural logarithm of both sides:
. Now the two quantities are known - or easy to get with any calculator, replacing them and solving for n we get:
Now, since n is an integer - you can't have a fraction of a bounce after all, you pick the integer right after that, or n>27.
Answer:
e. 0.977
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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, we have that:

Which of the following is closest to the proportion of daily transactions greater than 350?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 350. So



has a pvalue of 0.023
1 - 0.023 = 0.977
So the correct answer is:
e. 0.977
