13. 1 and only 1; Possible explanation: The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola that opens either up or down and extends without end to the left and to the right. So for any quadratic function, the graph intersects the y-axis in at least one point. And, the graph intersects the y-axis in at most one point because no vertical line can intersect the graph of a function in more than one point.
10. 5.5 11. Slope: -0.3; y-intercept: -0.1 12. Direct variation; The equation is C = πd.
14. The remainder is zero because the polynomial is equivalent to (x + a)(x + b). 15. $16: 35; $24: 5; $32: 4 16. Student B incorrectly subtracts 36x instead of adding. 17. (2, -6) 18. B
b. Possible answer: infinitely many solutions, all the like terms would become opposites if the first equation was multiplied by -2

21. The student incorrectly reasoned that the events draw an ace and draw a spade are mutually exclusive. The events are not mutually exclusive because the ace of spades is both an ace and a spade. The sum 4 + 13 includes the ace of spades twice. To get the correct answer, subtract 1 from that sum. The correct answer is 16.
c. infinitely many solutions, consistent and dependent 23. 205 ninth graders, 190 tenth graders, 180 eleventh graders

Lesson 24.
A change in the value of h shifts the parent function to the right when h is positive and to the left when h is negative. A change in the value of k shifts the parent function up when k is positive and down when k is negative. When the absolute value of a is greater than 1, the graph is stretched away from the x-axis, appearing narrower than the parent function. When the absolute value of a is between 0 and 1, the graph is compressed towards the x-axis, appearing wider than the parent function.

25. When a polynomial is factored and is equal to zero, since the product of the terms equals zero, at least one of its terms equals zero. Setting each term containing a variable equal to zero enables you to solve for a possible value of the variable. 1.5d 26. _ 2 t + 1.5t
27. The point (0, 3) is the highest point on the parabola; the y-values do not extend above 3. 8
