4 0

Answer:

1.870828693387

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Deviation, σ: 1.870828693387

Count, N:4

Sum, Σx: 12

Mean, μ: 3

Variance, σ2: 3.5

Steps

σ2 = Σ(xi - μ)2

N = (6 - 3)2 + ... + (1 - 3)2

4 = 14

4 = 3.5

σ = √3.5

= 1.870828693387

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-2\pm2i}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+4x+8=0\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\\x^2+4x+8-8=0-8\\\\x^2+2(x)(2)=-8\qquad\text{add}\ 2^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2+2(x)(2)+2^2=-8+2^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\(x+2)^2=-8+4\\\\(x+2)^2=-4\iff x+2=\pm\sqrt{-4}\\\\x+2=\pm\sqrt{(4)(-1)}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\x+2=\pm\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{-1}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{-1}=i\\\\x+2=\pm2\cdot i\qquad\text{subtract 2 from both sides}\\\\x=-2\pm2i$
