Regarding making the plots, my position is principled:
It is the student' job, and it is the student
who MUST DO IT on HIS or HER own, without asking for help from outside.
If the student does not make HIS (or HER) job, he (or she) is simply a bum.
Therefore, if you do not want to have (to make) a scandal, do this job on your own
and do not include such requests into your future posts.
Regarding your request on finding the roots (part a), I can not believe to my eyes.
I know for sure, that the students study / learn the problems on finding maximum/minimum of quadratic functions
only after they learned solving quadratic equations. It is a standard NECESSARY PRE-REQUISITE.
So, if you can not solve a quadratic equation and can not find its roots on your own, then you simply are in wrong class.
If you are not agree with me, then PLEASE clarify.
