What is the x intercept od this piecewise function? a) (0,2) b) (2,0) c) (0,4) d) (4,0)

Choice B) (2,0)

======================================

Set the first piece equal to zero and solve for x

x^2 - 4 = 0

x^2 = 4

x = sqrt(4) or x = -sqrt(4)

x = 2 or x = -2

Keep in mind that the first piece y = x^2-4 is only graphed when x = 2 or larger, so we ignore x = -2. This is one x intercept, but there may be more. Let's check the other graph to see what we get.

----------

Set the second piece equal to zero and solve for x

x-2 = 0

x-2+2 = 0+2

x = 2

We get the same result as above in the prior section. Because of this, the two pieces connect at this junction point.

The x intercept x = 2 leads to the location (2,0). The x intercept always occurs when y = 0.

The graph below shows this.

side note: the red piece y = x^2 - 4 looks linear, but it's actually not a straight line. It's just a really stretched out curve.

b

step-by-step explanation:

if a was wrong then it has to be b it cant be c either because not all the y intercepts are the same!

ok now , i would like brainlest plz

step-by-step explanation:

ok one would be money, and the other would be refreshments or something similar. if each bag of popcorn is 5.00 and each drink is half of that that means drinks are 2.50 the proper way to do that would to look and see how much of each you can buy without exceeding a limit of 30.00
