Question

Consider the two functions. Which statement is true? A) Function 2 has the greater x-intercept by 1 15 B) Function 1 has the greater x-intercept by 1 15 C) Function 2 has the greater x-intercept by 1 5 D) Function 1 has the greater x-intercept by 1 5

Answer 1

Function 1 has the greater x-intercept by

1

15

unit

function 1 has a x-intercept: −1
