Question

Teresa and Susan are working together at a station in their math class. They have been given four cards with four different functions on them. Teresa thinks that Function D always exceeds the other functions. Susan doesn't think Teresa's statement is true. Which values of x disproves her claim? Explain your reasoning.

a) Values where Function D is equal to the other functions.
b) Values where Function D is less than the other functions.
c) Values where Function D is greater than the other functions.
d) Values where Function D is undefined.

Answer 1

The values of x that disprove Teresa's claim that Function D always exceeds the other functions are values where Function D is less than the other functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of x that disprove Teresa's claim that Function D always exceeds the other functions are (b) Values where Function D is less than the other functions. If there exist values of x where Function D is less than the other functions, then Teresa's claim is not true.
