Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm
we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16
x=

x=

x=

x=

x=

x=

or

aprox
x=-1.52786 or -10.4721
those are the numbers
the numbes are -1.52786 or -10.4721
9. D because it fits the description when it is graphed.
11. D because it has the correct vertex, which is (1.5, 4.75).
12. f(x)=-4(x-2)²+16 works with the table and provided graph!
13. 0 isn't a zero for f(x), so B is correct (the zeros are 1/2 and 4).
14. The width is about 3.831.
15. The answer is B because the equation for a parabola in this form is:
f(x) = (x - r₁)(x - r₂)
Every one of these except for 15 was solved using desmos, a graphing calculator.
Hope this helps!
Associativity means
(A+B)+C=A+(B+C)=A+B+C
Substitute A=9, B=8, C=32 to apply to this problem.
