The answer is: [A]:
___________________________
Explanation: This is the only answer choice that makes sense, since this answer choice includes the following:
__________________________________
x<2 ; x ≥ 2 ; which the graph (attached) clearly demonstrates.

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

From the given graph it is clear that the graph it divided in two pieces, so it is piece-wise function.

We have two different function one is for x≥2 and another is for x<2 because we have an open circle on x=2.

From the graph it is clear that the function is linear for x≥2 and it is directly proportional to x.


F(x)=x for x≥2

This function is represent by only option A. The function of option A is


f(x)=\begin{cases}|4-x^2| &amp; \text{ if } x<2 \\ x &amp; \text{ if } x\geq 2 \end{cases}

From the given graph it is clear that the y-intercept of the graph is 4.

The y-intercept of F(x) in option A is


|4-(0)^2|=4

Therefore the correct option is A.
