Answer:
The x-intercept is x = -2, and the graph approaches a vertical asymptote at x = -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given graph is a transformed logarithm function.
The graph is obtained by shifting the parent function three units left.
The vertical asymptote is now

The x-intercept is where the graph intersect the x-axis, which is x=-2
Therefore the last option is correct.
Answer:
2 sqrt(2x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = sqrt( x+9)
g(x) = 8x-13
f(g(x))
place the function g(x) in for x in f(x)
f(g(x)) = sqrt(8x-13+9)
Combine like terms
f(g(x)) = sqrt(8x-4)
Factor out 4
f(g(x)) = sqrt(4*(2x-1)
2 sqrt(2x-1)
