    1.) B

    2.) B

    3.) A

    4.) D

    5.) There is no graph, can't answer it.

    6.) C

    7.) A

    8.) The choices are incomplete, but the solutions are -1/2 and 1.5. I think it's A since it has one point of the solution.

    9.) A

    10.) Part 1: The solutions to the first equation are -5 and 5 so the axis of symmetry is right at the origin.

    The solutions to the second equation are 5 and -3.

    Part 2: The graphs both have 5 as a solution, the they both open downward, they both have two solutions, but they have a different axis of symmetry.

    11.) Part 1: The graph opens up because the a value (which in this equation is x or 1 is positive). It has a minimum point. The x intercepts are 12 and 2. The vertex is at (7,-25).

    Part 2: I think you should try that yourself, but if you still can't get it please ask.

    If you need any explanations for any of these answers please ask. Sorry I couldn't include explanations the answers already took a lot of space.

    1) y = (x − 5)(2x + 3)

    y = 2x^2 + 3x - 10x - 15

    y = 2x^2 - 7x - 15

    b = -7
