Which graph is defined by f(x) = |x2 − x − 2|? A. graph A B. graph B C. graph C D. graph D

Step-by-step explanation:

When the question comes with answer choices, please share them.   In this case it sounds like there were four graphs from which to choose.

f(x) = |x^2 − x − 2| is always zero or greater, due to the absolute value function.

x^2 − x − 2 = 0 factors to (x - 2)(x + 1) = 0, so the zeros of f(x) are {-1, 2}.

Plot x-intercepts {-1, 2}.  The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = 1/2, which is precisely halfway between the x-intercepts.  If we now choose the test number x = 0, we find the value of f(0) to be |-2}, which tells us that the y-intercept is (0, |-2|), or (0, 2), so we have a parabolic curve opening down between x = -1 and x = 2 and touching (but not crossing) the x-axis at those x-values. To the left of x = -1 the curve increases steadily from y = 0 in Quadrant II; to the right of x = 2, the curve increases steadily from y = 0 in Quadrant I.

answer is d-29

step-by-step explanation:

since you didn't include the picture, i can give you the description so you know how to pick the correct answer. the third quartile of a data is always shown in a box plot. in the middle of your graph should be a box. the third quartile is the value that goes with the far right edge of the box.
