Hello!

The answer is:
g(x)=-\sqrt[3]{x-1}

Why?

Let's check the roots and the shown point in the graphic (2,-1)

First,


0=-\sqrt[3]{x-1}\\\\0^(3)=(-\sqrt[3]{x-1})^(3)\\\\0=-(x-1)\\\\x=1

then,


g(0)=-\sqrt[3]{0-1}\\g(0)=-(-1)\\g(0)=1\\y=1

So, we know that the function intercepts the axis at (1,0) and (0,1), meaning that the function match with the last given option

(
g(x)=-\sqrt[3]{x-1})

Second,

Evaluating the function at (2,-1)


y=-\sqrt[3]{x-1}\\-1=-\sqrt[3]{2-1}\\-1=-\sqrt[3]{1}\\-1=-(1)\\-1=-1

-1=-1

It means that the function passes through the given point.

Hence,

The equation which represents g(x) is
g(x)=-\sqrt[3]{x-1}

Have a nice day!
