Answer:
a. a = 1, b = -5, c = -14
b. a = 1, b = -6, c = 9
c. a = -1, b = -1, c = -3
d. a = 1, b = 0, c = -1
e. a = 1, b = 0, c = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
a. x-ints at 7 and -2
this means that our quadratic equation must factor to:

FOIL:

Simplify:

a = 1, b = -5, c = -14
b. one x-int at 3
this means that the equation will factor to:

FOIL:

Simplify:

a = 1, b = -6, c = 9
c. no x-int and negative y must be less than 0
This means that our vertex must be below the x-axis and our parabola must point down
There are many equations for this, but one could be:

a = -1, b = -1, c = -3
d. one positive x-int, one negative x-int
We can use any x-intercepts, so let's just use -1 and 1
The equation will factor to:

This is a perfect square
FOIL:

a = 1, b = 0, c = -1
e. x-int at 
our equation will factor to:

This is also a perfect square
FOIL and you will get:

a = 1, b = 0, c = -3

Answer:
$6.79
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the cost of a bottle of soap. We divide the cost by the number of bottles
$9.12/6 = $1.52 per bottle
We also need to find the cost for a sponge
$5.00/4 = $1.25 per sponge
We want to find the total cost of 2 bottles of soap and 3 sponges
cost = 2 * 1.52 + 3 * 1.25
= 3.04 + 3.75
= 6.79
