Answer:

Part 1) The zero of the function is the point (100,0)

Part 2) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]m=-0.50d+50[/tex]

where

m ---> represents the amount of money that remains on the card

d ----> number of songs that are downloaded

Part 1) What is the zero of this function?

we know that

The zero of the function or x-intercept is the value of d when the value of m is equal to zero

so

For m=0

[tex]0=-0.50d+50[/tex]

solve for d

[tex]0.50d=50[/tex]

[tex]d=100\ songs[/tex]

The zero of the function is the point (100,0)

Part 2) What does the x-intercept mean in the context of this question?

The x-intercept represents the maximum number of songs that can be downloaded with money from the gift card ($50)

When 100 songs are downloaded the money remaining on the gift card will be zero
