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

2x^2+12x + 18 = 0

The discriminant d=b^2-4ac here is

d = 12^2 - 4(2)(18) = 0 \quad\checkmark

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

8 number of visits will be the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card

Step-by-step explanation:

                             Price without Discount Card   Price with Discount Card

Ticket (12 & Under)        $10                                             $8

Adult's Ticket                  $15                                           $12

Let x be the number of visits

Price without discount card for 2 adults and 1 child ticket

Price without discount for x visits = x(15 \times 2+ 10)=40x

Price with discount for x visits =57+ x(12 \times 2+ 8)=57+32x

Now to find For what number of visits will the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card

57+32x< 40x

57<8x

7.1<x

So, 8 number of visits will be the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card

Find f(-2) if f(x) = x + x + 7. f(-2) =
Lynna [10]

Answer:

f(-2) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

f(x) = x² + x + 7

We need to find the value of f(-2).

Put x = -2 in the given function.

f(-2) = (-2)² + (-2) + 7

= 4-2+7

= 9

Hence, the value of f(-2) is equal to 9.
