B. Up
Because a positive ‘a’ value will make the parabola open upwards, and because the power is 2 (even) both sides will open up in a ‘U’ shape
14. (2x - 1)(x + 7) = 0Using the zero factor property, we know that either the first or second terms (or both) must be equal to 0 if their product is 0. We can set each term equal to 0 to find the solutions:
2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
15. 
To solve this equation, you first need to set it equal to 0:

Next, it can be factored:

Finally, we can solve just like we did above:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
16. 
First, you can simplify by dividing each side by 4:

Now, set the equation equal to 0:

Next, factor:

Finally, find the solutions:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
The answer is 15% of $2.55=$0.3825=$0.38 off
Step by step: Take 15% and divide 15% by $2.55 This will give you the amount of money that is going to be added onto the bill. When you divide it and get your answer just add the answer to your original bill.
