Answer: The correct options are,

Its graph has a V-shape.

There are two inputs for which the output is 5.

The vertex of its graph is at (0, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given function is,

$y=|x|-2$ ------(1)

Which is an absolute function,

Since, the graph of an absolute function is always V shaped,

⇒ The graph of the given function is V-shaped,

Also, the range of the function is $[-2, \infty)$

So, the value of the function can be negative,

Now, for y = 0,

$\implies 0 = |x|-2$

$\implies |x|=2\implies x =\pm 2$

Thus, there are two inputs for which the output is 0,

Also, for y = 5,

$\implies 5=|x|-2$

$\implies |x|=7\implies x = \pm 7$

Thus, there are two inputs for which the output is 5,

Since, if an absolute function is,

$y=a|x-h|+k$ ------(2)

Then, the vertex of the function is (h,k),

By comparing equation (1) and (2),

The vertex of the given function is, (0, -2 )

If x = –3 is the only x-intercept of the graph of a quadratic equation, which statement best describes the discriminant of the e

natita [175]

Equations don't really have x intercepts, functions or curves do. They're also known as the zeros of the function. When we set a function equal to zero we get an equation to solve, and the zeros of the function become the solutions or roots of the equation.

If a quadratic equation only has one root, that's a repeated root corresponding to a discriminant of zero.

In this example our equation is something like $2(x+3)^2=0$ , or expanded
