Explanation:
Going through this one by one, we can say:
For the first one ("Both functions are increasing on the interval (0, ∞)"), this does not need to be selected. Although h(x) increases as x increases, g(x) (the y value) decreases as the x value increases, or the graph moves to the right.
Next, we have "g(x) is increasing on the interval (-∞, 0)." The -∞ represents when x is at its lowest point, or the leftmost point possible for the curve. 0 represents the middle of the graph, cutting right through the y-axis. As g(x) is only increasing on negative values, this is true. It is important to note that the 0 has a parenthesis next to it, so the value 0 itself, where the graph is not increasing, is not included
After that, we have "The y-intercept of g(x) is greater than the y-intercept of h(x)." The y intercept is when x=0. For g(x), y=9 here, and for h(x), y=1. Thus, g(x) is greater, and this can be selected.
Furthermore, we have "The function h(x) represents a linear function." This means that for each value of x throughout the function, a change in x by 1 always results in the same change in y. When x goes from -1 to 0, h(x) increases by 0.75. When x goes from 0 to 1, h(x) increases by 3. Therefore, as 0.75 is not equal to 3, these are not the same.
Finally, the last statement is g(2) < h(2). As we can see on the graph, as x=2, the line is at g(x) = 5. When x=2, h(x) is 16. As the value of h(x) (16) is greater than the value of g(x) (5) when x=2, this can be selected as well.
