For an exponential distribution, the standard deviation is equal to the mean.
(a) the standard deviation is 4 miles.
<u>Given</u>:
The quadratic equation is 
We need to determine the solutions of the quadratic equation.
<u>Solution</u>:
Let us solve the equation to determine the value of x.
Adding both sides of the equation by 5x and 3, we get;

The solution of the equation can be determined using quadratic formula.
Thus, we get;



Thus, the two roots of the equation are
and 
Hence, the solutions of the equation are
and 
This is how you solve it, and here is the answer!
It is A x= -9 I just did the assignment so yes, this means it is -9 I hope m answer helps you out.
Percent of increase = delta change/total first week x100
delta change = 25- 20 = 5
percent increase = 5/20 x 100 = 100/4 = 25 percent
