1) a
2) c
#1 explanation:
x^4-20x^2=-64
x^4-20x^2+64=0
(find a number that multiplies to the last number aka 64 and adds up to b aka 20)
((x-4)(x-16))^2
x= -2,2,-4,4
same for #2 w different variable and numbers
10 because 25 goes into 100 4 times 40 divided by 4=10
If you're referring to the different sets of real numbers, it's the ones that you could try to do subtraction and not get an answer that still in that set.
For example, natural numbers (aka 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) are not, because 7 - 11 = -4 and -4 is not a natural number.
Also, whole numbers (aka 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) has the same issue.
Basically any set of real numbers that doesn't include negative numbers will have this issue.
Same strategy as before: transform <em>X</em> ∼ Normal(76.0, 12.5) to <em>Z</em> ∼ Normal(0, 1) via
<em>Z</em> = (<em>X</em> - <em>µ</em>) / <em>σ</em> ↔ <em>X</em> = <em>µ</em> + <em>σ</em> <em>Z</em>
where <em>µ</em> is the mean and <em>σ</em> is the standard deviation of <em>X</em>.
P(<em>X</em> < 79) = P((<em>X</em> - 76.0) / 12.5 < (79 - 76.0) / 12.5)
… = P(<em>Z</em> < 0.24)
… ≈ 0.5948

Are you acually in middle school because this is algebra 2 and im learning this now in High school
