Plz help me and don't guess thank you ill give brainlest

1) The quadratic equation 4x2 + 45x + 24 = 0 was solved using the Quadratic Formula, x equals negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c, all over 2 times a.

One solution is −10.69. What is the other solution? Round to the hundredths place.

0.51
10.69
−1.12
−0.56

2) Identifying the values a, b, and c is the first step in using the Quadratic Formula to find solution(s) to a quadratic equation.

What are the values a, b, and c in the following quadratic equation?

−6x = −8x2 − 13

a = 8, b = −6, c = 13
a = −6, b = −8, c = 13
a = −6, b = −8, c = −13
a = −8, b = −6, c = −13

3)A portion of the Quadratic Formula proof is shown. Fill in the missing reason.

Statements Reasons
ax2 + bx + c = 0 Given
ax2 + bx = −c Subtract c from both sides of the equation
x squared plus b over a times x equals negative c over a Divide both sides of the equation by a
x squared plus b over a times x plus the quantity b over 2 times a squared equals negative c over a plus the quantity b over 2 times a squared Complete the square and add the quantity b over 2 times a squared to both sides
x squared plus b over a times x plus the quantity b over 2 times a squared equals negative c over a plus b squared over 4 times a squared Square the quantity b over 2 times a on the right side of the equation
x squared plus b over a times x plus the quantity b over 2 times a squared equals negative 4 times a times c over 4 times a squared plus b squared over 4 times a squared ?
Find a common denominator on the right side of the equation
Square the right side of the equation
Take the square root of the right side of the equation
Multiply the right side of the equation by a

Jobs and productivity! how do retail stores rate? one way to answer this question is to examine annual profits per employee. the following data give annual profits per employee (in units of 1 thousand dollars per employee) for companies in retail sales. assume σ ≈ 4.0 thousand dollars. 3.7 6.7 3.6 8.5 7.5 5.9 8.7 6.4 2.6 2.9 8.1 −1.9 11.9 8.2 6.4 4.7 5.5 4.8 3.0 4.3 −6.0 1.5 2.9 4.8 −1.7 9.4 5.5 5.8 4.7 6.2 15.0 4.1 3.7 5.1 4.2 (a) use a calculator or appropriate computer software to find x for the preceding data. (round your answer to two decimal places.) thousand dollars per employee (b) let us say that the preceding data are representative of the entire sector of retail sales companies. find an 80% confidence interval for μ, the average annual profit per employee for retail sales. (round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit -- thousand dollars upper limit -- thousand dollars (c) let us say that you are the manager of a retail store with a large number of employees. suppose the annual profits are less than 3 thousand dollars per employee. do you think this might be low compared with other retail stores? explain by referring to the confidence interval you computed in part (b). yes. this confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee are less than those of other retail stores. no. this confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee do not differ from those of other retail stores. correct: your answer is correct. (d) suppose the annual profits are more than 6.5 thousand dollars per employee. as store manager, would you feel somewhat better? explain by referring to the confidence interval you computed in part (b). yes. this confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee are greater than those of other retail stores. no. this confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee do not differ from those of other retail stores. (e) find an 95% confidence interval for μ, the average annual profit per employee for retail sales. (round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit 3.75 incorrect: your answer is incorrect. thousand dollars upper limit 6.41 incorrect: your answer is incorrect. thousand dollars
