<p>In the figure above, the graph of y = 2x2 + 9x + 9 intersects the y-axis at P and the x-axis at R. What is the area of rectangle OPQR ??</p>
<p>answer ( 13.5 )</p>
<p>The parabola intersects the y-axis at P (0,9) and the x-axis at either R (-3,0) or (-3/2, 0) (the quadratic factors to y = (2x+3)(x+3)). Assuming O is the origin, we can determine point Q given the other points, but the area of OPQR is either 27 or 27/2. </p>
<p>Does the “figure above” label R? Or is the question flawed?</p>
