Option A, because you split the (2x + 3) into 2x and 3.
Correct answers are:
1) 1/3 (NOT 3/10). .3 repeating is not 3/10, 3/10 is .3.
2) 1/8. To solve, .125 has three places, so use 1000. 1000/125 is 8, that is your denominator. 125/125 is 1 is your numerator.
3) 1/6 (divide 100/16, which is 6 ¼ - round to 6. If you carry this out to 1,000,000/166,667, it is very close to 6.
4) 1/10
5) 2/3 (NOT 3/5)
6) 1/5 (2/10 reduced to 1/5)
7) 3/4 (75/100 reduced)

Answer:
A & B
Step-by-step explanation:
A is spot-on because of the use of distributive property. B by the use of like terms.
Answer:
the parabola can be written as:
f(x) = y = a*x^2 + b*x + c
first step.
find the vertex at:
x = -b/2a
the vertex will be the point (-b/2a, f(-b/2a))
now, if a is positive, then the arms of the parabola go up, if a is negative, the arms of the parabola go down.
The next step is to see if we have real roots by using the Bhaskara's equation:

Now, draw the vertex, after that draw the values of the roots in the x-axis, and now conect the points with the general draw of the parabola.
If you do not have any real roots, you can feed into the parabola some different values of x around the vertex
for example at:
x = (-b/2a) + 1 and x = (-b/2a) - 1
those two values should give the same value of y, and now you can connect the vertex with those two points.
If you want a more exact drawing, you can add more points (like x = (-b/2a) + 3 and x = (-b/2a) - 3) and connect them, as more points you add, the best sketch you will have.
