Let's address each question one by one:

1. **Border Width Calculation**:
- The area of the framed picture is 96 square inches. The dimensions of the picture are 10 inches and 6 inches.
- Area of the picture: \( A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 10 \times 6 = 60 \) square inches.
- Let \( x \) be the width of the border. Then, the dimensions of the framed picture will be \( (10 + 2x) \) and \( (6 + 2x) \).
- The area of the framed picture can be expressed as:
\[
(10 + 2x)(6 + 2x) = 96
\]
- Expanding the equation:
\[
60 + 20x + 12x + 4x^2 = 96
\]
\[
4x^2 + 32x + 60 - 96 = 0
\]
\[
4x^2 + 32x - 36 = 0
\]
\[
x^2 + 8x - 9 = 0
\]
- Using the quadratic formula \( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \):
\[
x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{64 + 36}}{2}
\]
\[
x = \frac{-8 \pm 10}{2}
\]
- This gives us:
1. \( x = 1 \) (valid, positive border width).
2. \( x = -9 \) (not valid, negative width).
- **Answer**: **1 inch**.

2. **Height of the School’s Roof**:
- The equation \( y = -16t^2 + 40 \) describes a projectile motion where the coefficient of \( t^2 \) indicates the effect of gravity (16 feet per second squared).
- The initial height (when \( t = 0 \)) is:
\[
y = -16(0)^2 + 40 = 40
\]
- **Answer**: **40 feet**.

3. **Luca’s Initial Launching Point**:
- The formula \( y = -16t^2 + 40t - 5 \) gives Luca's position relative to street level. The value at \( t = 0 \) indicates the initial launching point:
\[
y = -16(0)^2 + 40(0) - 5 = -5
\]
- This means Luca launches 5 feet below street level.
- **Answer**: **5 feet below**.

4. **Use of Quadratic Equation**:
- A scenario involving projectile motion, like finding the height of a soccer ball, can be modeled by a quadratic equation because the motion involves a parabolic trajectory.
- The correct scenario is:
- **A coach models the trajectory of a ball to find out how high the player is kicking the ball.**
- **Answer**: **A coach models the trajectory of a ball to find out how high the player is kicking the ball.**

5. **Goalkeeper’s Distance from the Goalpost**:
- The graph would provide information where the parabola intersects the x-axis (when height is 0). This corresponds to the distance from the goalpost when the ball was kicked.
- If we assume that the y-axis intercepts the height before reaching this intersection at the point, then one possible distance can be deduced based on provided options. Typically, the x-coordinate at \( y = 0 \) is what we check.
- **Without the actual graph**, we typically choose the lowest distance based on the trajectory model—most likely:
- **Answer**: (Choose the specific value from available graph details, but likely a lower distance) Select based on graph observations.
