<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 ∅.

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided we can say that this is false. Since it is a board game and no actual information regarding each players position in the game has been presented, then each player has an equal chance of winning each game. Therefore since there is a total of 3 players the percent chance of winning each game for each player is 33% (100 / 3 = 33)

A car can travel 105 miles on 7 gallons of gas. How far can it travel on 9 gallons
Wewaii [24]

Find how far the car can travel on one gallon of gas, by dividing total miles by number of gallons:

105 miles / 7 gallons = 15 miles per gallon.


Now multiply that by the number of gallons to find total miles:

15 miles per gallon x 9 gallons = 135 total miles.
