Question

Which function is graphed?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

The given piecewise function shows that there is a jump discontinuity at x=1 in the first part of the piecewise function. Hence, this means that for the first part of the piecewise function, x=1 isn't included, but in the second part of the piecewise function, it is.

We can therefore eliminate C and D.

Looking at the first part of the piecewise function, we can see as x grows smaller, y grows larger.  Therefore, A is the more preferred answer because the domain x<1 is valid.
