Question

The figure above shows the graph of the function g. If g(a) = 0, what is the value of a?

Select one:
A. 0
B. 1
C. 3
D. 4
E. 8

Answer 1

Option C. 3

Explanation:

we know that

The value of g(a) is the value of the function g(x) when the value of x is equal to a

If g(a)=0

That means that the value of the function g(x) is equal to zero when the value of x is equal to a (this is an x-intercept)

Looking at the graph

For x=3

The value of g(3)=0

therefore

The value of a is 3
