17.3.3 Quiz: Simplifying Rational Expressions Question 6 of 10
Which of the following is equal to the rational expression when x=-4 or 3?
x2 - 4x + 3
x²+x-12
O A. x-3
* +1

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.
