Answer:
y =x^2 +8x +15
factories form
y =( x+5 )( x+3 )
x intercept where the graph meet the x axis
y = x^2 +8x +15
let y =0
0 = x^2 +8x +15
0 = ( x + 5) (x+3)
o = x+5 or 0 = x+3
-5 = x or x = - 3
x intercept
(-5;0)
(-3 ;0)
axis of symmetry : where you will cut the graph into two half
x = - b/2a
x = - 8/2(1)
x = - 8/2
x = - 4
Domain

Range
y > -1
let's multiply both sides in each equation by the LCD of all fractions in it, thus doing away with the denominator.

Given

Divide it by (x+1) using synthetic division, as shown below
The green line is a minus sign.
Thus,

Therefore, since the remainder is different than zero, (x+1) is not a factor of 4x^2+2x-5
Well, given that a quarter equals 5 nickels, we can reason that, in order to get 12 coins, we would have to get 10 nickels (equals 50 cents) and 2 quarters (the other 50 cents, to make a dollar).
You didn't say whether you needed this expressed in a mathematical formula, but knowing the answer already, it shouldn't be hard to come up with one if necessary.
Hope this helps.
Given:
Let x be the whole amount inherited.
1/2 * x - invested with Bernie Madoff
1/3 * x - lost due to identity theft
1/8 * x - lost in casino
40,000 - remainder
x - x/2 - x/3 - x/8 = 40,000
LCM:
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
8: 8, 16, 24,
x * 24/24 = 24x / 24
x/2 * 12/12 = 12x / 24
x/3 * 8/8 = 8x / 24
x/8 * 3/3 = 3x / 24
40,000 * 24/24 = 960,000 / 24
24x/24 - 12x/24 - 8x/24 - 3x/24 = 960,000/24
(24x - 12x - 8x - 3x)/24 = 960,000/24
x/24 = 960,000/24
24 * x/24 = 24 * 960,000/24
x = 960,000
x = 960,000 initial inheritance
x/2 = 960,000/2 = 480,000 invested with Bernie Madoff
x/3 = 960,000/3 = 320,000 lost due to identity theft
x/8 = 960,000/8 = 120,000 lost in the casino
40,000 - remaining amount.
960k - 480k - 320k - 120k = 40k
40k = 40k
