Solve for x over the complex numbers. x^2+8x+20=0 x= or x=

you can use the quadratic formula but if you have to factor do the following:

x^2+8x+20=0

add -4 to both sides of the equation to complete the square

x^2+8x+20+(-4)=0+(-4)

x^2+8x+16=-4

(x+4)^2=-4

take the square root of both sides

x+4=+sqrt(-4)

x+4=+sqrt[(4)(-1)]

x+4=+2sqrt(-1) where sqrt(-1)=i, a complex number

x+4=+2i

x=-4+2i

x=-4+2i and x=-4-2i

you would get the same answer using the quadratic formula

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
