Select the correct answer.

which statement describes the end behavior of the function f(x) = 8|x-1| + 13?

a. as x approaches negative infinity. f(x) approaches negative infinity.

b. as x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity.

c. as x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.

d. as x approaches positive infinity, (fx) is no longer continuous.

B. As x approaches negative infinity, F(x) approaches positive infinity.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 8|x-1| + 13

parent function: |x|

|x| looks like a V, the -1 term translate the parent function 1 step to the right, the 8 multiplying the function stretch it horizontally, and the +13 moves it 13 units up. Therefore, as x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches positive infinity.

b. x + 1
