Insufficient production of bile is mostly likely to impair absorption of

The answer is fat because if this is impaired in absorption, it means the production of bile could be insufficient. Fat is important in a person’s life and in the body function as it serves to both the metabolic functions and structural functions of the body, if such does not exist, it could lead the body to dysfunction and having an impaired absorption could lead to complications such as having insufficient bile which is essential in the body.

the answer is d. none of the above

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.
