What are the solutions to the quadratic function. f(x) = x^2+4x-12
2 answers:
Answer:
2, -6
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 4x - 12
A = 1
B = 4
C = -12
i used the "X" method to solve for the solutions. i think it's easier than using the quadratic formula but it doesn't always work
for the "X" method you have to multiply your A value and your C value together so 1 x (-12) = -12. that is going to be the top part of the X
the bottom part of the x will be your B value which is 4
we have to find multiples of -12 that will also add to 4
so -2 and 6 multiply to -12 but also add to 4 so we know these numbers will work
i added added two drawings to show how i found the solutions using the "X" method and the quadratic formula

Answer:
0% probability of getting a mean temperature of 98.2 degrees F or lower.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean and standard deviation
, a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
and standard deviation
.
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
Find the probability of getting a mean temperature of 98.2 degrees F or lower.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 98.2. So
has a pvalue of 0.
So there is a 0% probability of getting a mean temperature of 98.2 degrees F or lower.
