Question

Which of the following functions is graphed below?

Answer 1

Answer:

2nd choice B.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the options A-D to help you eliminate pretty quickly without actually graphing

So first chose says you have the graph on the left when x<1 But you should see our visual actually says we want to include what happens at 1 (the filled dot) so this isn't the answer

Second choice Possible

Third choice... I'm just going to look at one of the parts... x^2+4 for x<=1 says we should have part of a parabola to the left of x=1 (inclusive) but there is not parabola in our visual

Fourth choice: same reason as third choice

Answer is the 2nd
