Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form

ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0, then

The nature of it's roots can be determined by the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

• If b² - 4ac > 0 then roots are real and distinct

• If b² - 4ac = 0 then roots are real and equal

• If b² - 4ac < 0 then roots are not real

For x² - 4x + 4 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 1, b = - 4, c = 4, then

b² - 4ac = (- 4)² - (4 × 1 × 4) = 16 - 16 = 0

Hence roots are real and equal

This can be shown by solving the equation

x² - 4x + 4 = 0

(x - 2)² = 0

(x - 2)(x - 2) = 0, hence

x - 2 = 0 or x - 2 = 0

x = 2 or x = 2 ← roots are real and equal

Can the vertex also be a solution of a graphed parabola?
stiv31 [10]
One important feature of the parabola is that it has an extreme point, called the vertex. If the parabola opens up, the vertex represents the lowest point on the graph, or the minimum value of the quadratic function.

a) The weekly wages of employees of Volta gold are normally distributed about a mean of $1,250 with a standard deviation of $120
Fantom [35]

Answer:

0.7102

0.8943

0.3696

Step - by - Step Explanation :

A.) Between $1320 and $970

P(Z < 1300) - P(Z < 970)

find the Zscore of each scores and their corresponding probability uinag the standard distribution table :

P(Z < (x - μ) /σ) - P(Z < (x - μ) / σ))

P(Z < (1320 - 1250) /120) - P(Z < (970 - 1250) / 120))

P(Z < 0.5833) - P(Z < - 2.333)

0.7200 - 0.0098 = 0.7102 (Standard

=0.7102

B.)Under 1400

x = 1400

P(Z < 400)

P(Z < (x - μ) /σ)

P(Z < (1400 - 1250) /120)

P(Z < 1.25) = 0.8943

C.) Over 1290

P(Z > 1290)

P(Z < (x - μ) /σ)

P(Z > (1290 - 1250) /120 = 0.3333

P(Z > z) = 1 - P(Z < 0.3333) = P(Z < 0.3333) = 0.6304

P(Z > 0.3333) = 1 - 0.6304 = 0.3696
