Abiotic and biotic factors determine what an environment will be like. abiotic factors include aspects such as temperature, moisture, sunlight, elevation, and other nonliving elements that influence the organisms in that environment. though something like temperature is living, it drastically affects how chemical reactions take place within the living cells of organisms. for example, enzymes only function well at certain temperatures. unlike abiotic factors, biotic factors include aspects such as predators, competitive species, and symbiotic organisms - essentially the plants and animals that make up the nonliving part of the environment.

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.
