Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation
5 times 5 is 25
(To make problems like this easier just multiply the denominator by the result, take this problem for example, the denominator is 5 and the result is 5 so just multiply those and you get 25)
The first term is 8, so 
Each time we want a new term, we add on 3
8+3 = 11
11+3 = 14
14+3 = 17
17+3 = 20
23+3 = 26
and so on
This recursive step of adding on 3 to the prior term is written as this: 
which says "to get the nth term, add 3 to the term just before the nth term"
Based on what you posted for your answer choices, the final answer is likely choice C. However it seems some weird typo happened.
Answer: The fifth piece of paper could have any number 9 and less or 14 and greater.
Step-by-step explanation: The list of choices is not given in the question, but it makes sense that the new number would not be a duplicate of any of the numbers 10, 11, 12, 13. Otherwise that would change the probability to 5/5.
So any other number could be a possibility.
The vertex is the high point of the curve, (2, 1). The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is
.. y = a*(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . for vertex = (h, k)
Using the vertex coordinates we read from the graph, the equation is
.. y = a*(x -2)^2 +1
We need to find the value of "a". We can do that by using any (x, y) value that we know (other than the vertex), for example (1, 0).
.. 0 = a*(1 -2)^2 +1
.. 0 = a*1 +1
.. -1 = a
Now we know the equation is
.. y = -(x -2)^2 +1
_____
If we like, we can expand it to
.. y = -(x^2 -4x +4) +1
.. y = -x^2 +4x -3
=========
An alternative approach would be to make use of the zeros. You can read the x-intercepts from the graph as x=1 and x=3. Then you can write the equation as
.. y = a*(x -1)*(x -3)
Once again, you need to find the value of "a" using some other point on the graph. The vertex (x, y) = (2, 1) is one such point. Subsituting those values, we get
.. 1 = a*(2 -1)*(2 -3) = a*1*-1 = -a
.. -1 = a
Then the equation of the graph can be written as
.. y = -(x -1)(x -3)
In expanded form, this is
.. y = -(x^2 -4x +3)
.. y = -x^2 +4x -3 . . . . . . same as above
