Question

Which of the following functions is graphed below?

Answer 1

The graph consists of two parts: left part (with sign < or ≤) - parabola and right part (with sign > or ≥) - straight line.

Determine signs:

From the diagram you can see that the right endpoint (4,19) of parabola is not included. This means that x cannot be equal to 4 at this part of graph and the sign should be <.

Also you can see that the left endpoint (4,8) of line is included. This means that x=4 belongs to the right part and the sign should be ≥.

Using previous conclusions, you can state that correct choice is D.

Answer 2

we have that

observing the graph of the problem, it is evident that the solution is option D, since the graph of the parabola presents a domain for x <4 and the line presents a domain for x> = 4 and the only option with these two conditions is option D

using a graph tool
I proceed to verify
see the attached figure

the answer is the option D
