#### Solution By Steps
***Step 1: Find the roots of the quadratic equation $x^{2}+6x+9=0$***
This is a perfect square trinomial: $(x+3)^{2}=0$. Therefore, $x=-3$ is the only root.
***Step 2: Express the quadratic $(2x-7)(3x+2)$ in the form $ax^{2}+bx+c$***
Expand the expression: $6x^{2}-17x-14$. So, $a=6$, $b=-17$, and $c=-14$.
***Step 3: Find the roots of the quadratic equation $3x^{2}-147=0$***
Factor out the equation: $3(x^{2}-49)=0$. The roots are $x=-7$ and $x=7$.
***Step 4: Condition for a quadratic equation to have equal roots***
For a quadratic equation to have equal roots, the discriminant ($b^{2}-4ac$) should be equal to 0.
***Step 5: Calculate the discriminant of $4x^{2}-15x+14=0$***
The discriminant is $(-15)^{2}-4(4)(14)=225-224=1$.
***Step 6: Find the $X$-intercepts of the quadratic function $y=7x^{2}-9x+2$***
Set $y=0$ and solve for $x$: $(7x-2)(x-1)=0$. The $X$-intercepts are $(2/7, 0)$ and $(1, 0)$.
***Step 7: Characteristics of the graph of $81-x^{2}$***
The graph is a parabola opening downwards with its vertex at $(0, 81)$.
***Step 8: Characteristics of the quadratic function $y=4x^{2}-13x+9$***
a. $a=4$, $b=-13$, $c=9$
b. $x_{1}+x_{2}=\frac{13}{4}$
c. $x_{1} \cdot x_{2}=\frac{9}{4}$
d. $x_{1}-x_{2}=3$
e. $(x_{1}+x_{2})^{2}=\frac{169}{16}$
f. Discriminant is $(-13)^{2}-4(4)(9)=25$
g. $X$-intercepts at $(\frac{3}{2}, 0)$ and $(\frac{3}{4}, 0)$
h. $Y$-intercept at $(0, 9)$
i. Axis of symmetry equation: $x=\frac{13}{8}$
j. Vertex at $(\frac{13}{8}, -\frac{7}{16})$
