<h2>Answer: ∅</h2>

Step-by-step explanation: When solving by completing the square,

we cannot have a coefficient on the squared term.

So first divide both sides by 4 to get x² + 4x + 25/4 = 0.

Now subtract 25/4 from both sides and leave a space.

So we have x² + 4x ____ = -25/4 ____.

The number that goes in that space is the number needed

to create a perfect square trinomial on the left side.

The question is, what is that number?

Well it comes from a formula.

The number that goes in that space comes from

half the coefficient of the middle term squared.

So that's half of 4 squared or 2 squared which is 4.

So we add 4 to both sides.

On the left, we will get a binomial squared

which will use x and half the coefficient of the middle term.

So we have (x + 2)².

On the right, -25/4 + 16/4 is -9/4.

So we have (x + 2)² = -9/4.

Notice that when take the square root of both sides,

we have the square root of a negative which is illegal.

So we say our answer is ∅.

The owner of the West End Kwick Fill Gas Station wishes to determine the proportion of customers who pay at the pump using a cre
GalinKa [24]

Answer: 0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The owner of the West End Kwick Fill Gas Station wishes to determine the proportion of customers who pay at the pump using a credit card or debit card.

He surveys 100 customers and finds that 80 paid at the pump.

Then, sample proportion= \dfrac{80}{100}=0.80

Since , the best point estimate for population proportion is sample proportion.

Therefore, the estimated value for population proportion =0.80

Will mark as brainliest! 40 points! Thanks!
n200080 [17]

When given a system of equations, the "solutions" are defined where two equations intersect, or meet.


A. The point where the lines p(x) and g(x) meet is (3, -1), and thus this is considered the solution set.

B. Because there are three lines in total, g(x) is able to intersect both lines one time, and so it has two pairs of solutions.

The first is (3, -1), which has already been established with p(x).

The second is (0, 5), and this is where it intersects with f(x).

C. The solution to f(x) = g(x) is 0, as this is the only x value where both equations are equal.


Hope my answer helped!
