Money : Hours

$80 : 10

So let x be the money you earn for 2.5 hours.

x : 2.5

You just need to do this: 80/(10/2.5)

= 80/4

= 20

So you earn $20 for 2.5 hours.

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
