a) Jodi's car traveled 38 miles per gallon of gas. We know this because by dividng the amount of miles traveled by number of gallons Jodi has in her car we can find how many miles she travels per gallon of gas.
So our equation would be 456 / 12 = 38
b) The cost per gallon of gas was $3.74. We can find this answer by dividing how much she paid ($44.88) by how many gallons she bought (12).
The axis of symmetry divides the quadratic exactly in half. If one x-intercept is 8, then the other will be the same distance on the other side of it. 8 is 5 from 3 where the axis of symmetry is. So 3-5 = -2. -2 will be the other intercept.
