Question

Select the correct answer. Consider functions p and q. Which statement is true about these functions? A. The x-intercept of function p is greater than the x-intercept of function q. B. The x-intercept of function p is less than the x-intercept of function q. C. The x-intercepts cannot be compared because either p or q does not have an x-intercept. D. The x-intercept of function p is the same as the x-intercept of function q.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The x-intercepts cannot be compared because either p or q does not have an x-intercept

Explanation:

The comparison has two functions p and q cross the x-axis, but without details about the functions, we can't say if one crosses before or after the other. So, we can't tell which one has a bigger or smaller x-intercept because we don't have enough information. Due to the lack of information on functions p and q, option C seems favorable.
