Given function:
g(x)=-5^(x+3)+7

We need to find the correct graph in the given options.

In order to find the correct, we need to find the x-intercept.

In order to find the x-intercept, we need to put given function equal to 0 and then solve for x.


-5^(x+3)+7=0

Subtracting 7 from both sides, we get


-5^(x+3) = -7

Dividing both sides by -1, we get


5^(x+3) =7

Taking ln on both sides, we get


ln(5^(x+3)) = ln(7)

(x+3)
ln(5) = ln(7)

Dividing both sides, by ln(5), we get


x+3=(ln(7))/(ln(5))

x+3 =1.21

x= 1.21 -3

x=-1.79.

From the given options, we can see the 4th option has x-intercept at -1.79.

Therefore, 4th option is correct option.
