Answer:

Simplifying

x2 + bx + 9 = 0

Reorder the terms:

9 + bx + x2 = 0

Solving

9 + bx + x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'b'.

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.

9 + bx + -9 + x2 = 0 + -9

Reorder the terms:

9 + -9 + bx + x2 = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0

0 + bx + x2 = 0 + -9

bx + x2 = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9

bx + x2 = -9

Add '-1x2' to each side of the equation.

bx + x2 + -1x2 = -9 + -1x2

Combine like terms: x2 + -1x2 = 0

bx + 0 = -9 + -1x2

bx = -9 + -1x2

Divide each side by 'x'.

b = -9x-1 + -1x

Simplifying

b = -9x-1 + -1x

Distribution with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15...
anzhelika [568]
Use the z-score:
                                      112 - 100
For 112, the z-score is --------------- = 12/15, or 0.8.  
                                             15

Next, find the AREA under the standard normal curve TO THE LEFT OF 0.8.

Use either a z-score table or a calculator for this purpose.

Using my calculator, I found that this area is 0.532.  That places 112 in the 53rd percentile.

82 would be in a lower percentile:  the 12th percentile.

Let me know if you have questions about how to use a calculator to do these calculations.

There are 100 apartments in Brenna's building. The number of apartments per floor is equal to 4 times the number of floors in th
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of floors  = x

Number of apartments per floor = 4x

4x *x = 100

4x² = 100

x² = 100/4

x² = 25

x =√25

x = 5

Number of apartments on each floor = 4*5 = 20
