This is number 8. the second person got number 9
That's a quadratic, a nice parabola in vertex form.
The parabola has a positive x^2 term, so it's a CUP, concave up positive. It will have a minimum at the vertex, which is (2,5). Plot that point.
Now we need a couple of guide points to draw the usual parabola going up from both sides of its vertex. We try x=0 giving (0,9) and see that x=4 also gives 9, (4,9). Plot the parabola through those two points and the vertex and you're done.

Answer: 4/15 of the movie
Step-by-step explanation:
In the morning, Charlie watched ¹/₃ of a movie. He then watched some more at night.
At the end of the day, he still had ²/₅ of the movie to watch.
The proportions of an item must always add up to one. This means that if you added the 1/3 to the 2/5 and then to the fraction Charlie watch at night, they should add up to one.
¹/₃ + ²/₅ + x = 1
x = 1 - ¹/₃ - ²/₅

Answer:
The total weight of the metal bar in pounds is 25 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Now, we have a metal bar which has a content of 60% zinc corresponding to 15 pounds.
Mathematically, let’s say the total weight of the metal composite is x pounds. It is 60% of this that is 15 pounds which is the content of the zinc
Mathematically;
60/100 * x = 15
60x = 15 * 100
60x = 1500
x = 1500/60
x = 25 pounds
