Which of the following functions is graphed below?

The function graphed is y = Ix - 5I - 4 ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve this problem

- From the graph

# The graph intersects the x-axis at x = 1 and x = 9

∴ The x-intercepts are 1 and 9

- We can find x-intercept by equate y by 0

* Lets equate the answers by zero to find the x-intercept

# y = Ix + 5I - 4

∵ Ix + 5I - 4 = 0

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ Ix + 5I = 4

- Remember in Ia + bI = c, then we have two answers :

 a + b = c  OR a + b = -c

∵ Ix + 5I = 4

∴ x + 5 = 4 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ x = -1

- OR

∴ x + 5 = -4 ⇒ subtract 5 from both sides

∴ x = -9

∴ The x-intercepts are -1 and -9 not the same with figure

# y = Ix - 5I + 4

∵ Ix - 5I + 4 = 0

- Subtract 4 from both sides

∴ Ix - 5I = -4

- Remember in Ia + bI = c , c can't be negative because the absolute

 value is always positive

∴ We can't solve this equation

# y = Ix + 5I + 4

∵ Ix + 5I + 4 = 0

- Subtract 4 from both sides

∴ Ix + 5I = -4

- Remember in Ia + bI = c , c can't be negative because the absolute

 value is always positive

∴ We can't solve this equation

# y = Ix - 5I - 4

∵ Ix - 5I - 4 = 0

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ Ix - 5I = 4

- Remember in Ia + bI = c, then we have two answers :

 a + b = c  OR a + b = -c

∵ Ix - 5I = 4

∴ x - 5 = 4 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ x = 9

- OR

∴ x - 5 = -4 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ x = 1

∴ The x-intercepts are 1 and 9 the same with figure

* The function graphed is y = Ix - 5I - 4
