<u>Answer-</u>
<em>The statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.</em>
<u>Solution-</u>
It solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.
This plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e V shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.
1- If b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a
2- If b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.
3- If b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.
∴ The statement is sometimes true.
