Question

Which of the following options represents the graph of the function shown below?

Answer 1

I think the answer is B but not sure about "11" in A

Answer 2

Answer:

The function that best represents the graph of the function which is given is:

               $f(x)=(x-3)^2+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph that is provided to us we observe that the graph passes through the point (3,1).

Hence, we will check which of the following function satisfies this point.

a)

$f(x)=(x-3)^3-1$

when x=3 we see that:

$f(x)=(3-3)^3-1\\\\i.e.\\\\f(x)=-1\neq 1$

Hence, option: a is incorrect.

c)

$f(x)=(x+3)^3-1$

when x=3 we have:

$f(3)=(3+3)^3-1\\\\i.e.\\\\f(3)=9^3-1\\\\i.e.\\\\f(3)=729-1\\\\f(3)=728\neq 1$

Hence, option: c is incorrect.

d)

$f(x)=(x+3)^3+1$

when x=3 we have:

$f(3)=(3+3)^3+1\\\\i.e.\\\\f(3)=9^3+1\\\\i.e.\\\\f(3)=729+1\\\\f(3)=730\neq 1$

Hence, option: d is incorrect.

Now we are left with option: b)

i.e.

b)

$f(x)=(x-3)^2+1$

Also, when x=3 we have:

$f(3)=(3-3)^2+1\\\\f(3)=0+1\\\\f(3)=1$

Hence, it passes through the point (3,1)

Also, when we will plot this function we observe that it matches the given graph.
