The x-intercept of a graph in the xy-plane is the point on the = =4 +28 graph where y 0. It’s given that function h is defined by h^xh x . = =4 +28 Therefore, the equation representing the graph of y h^xh is y x . =4 +28 0=4 +28 Substituting 0 for y in the equation y x yields x . Subtracting 28 -28=4 from both sides of this equation yields x. Dividing both sides of this - = = equation by 4 yields 7 x. Therefore, the x-intercept of the graph of y h^xh in -7,0 = the xy-plane is ^ h. It’s given that the x-intercept of the graph of y h^xh is ,0 =- ^a h. Therefore, a 7. The y-intercept of a graph in the xy-plane is the point on = =4 +28 the graph where x 0. Substituting 0 for x in the equation y x yields =4 0 +28 =28 = y ^ h , or y .

If a 7 and b , then the value of a b is , or . + Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of b, not a b. Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect. This is the - + + value of a b, not a b.</p>","correct_answer":["A"],"has_media":false,"has_mathml":false,"has_table":false,"source_created_at":null,"source_updated_at":null,"options":[{"label":"A","content_html":"<p>21</p>","ord":0},{"label":"B","content_html":"<p>28</p>","ord":1},{"label":"C","content_html":"<p>32</p>","ord":2},{"label":"D","content_html":"<p>35</p>","ord":3}],"attribution":{"source_id":"cb_practice_pdf","source_name":"College Board full-length SAT practice tests (PDF)","rights_holder":"College Board","canonical_url":"https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/practice/practice-tests/paper","retrieved_from":"https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/practice/practice-tests/paper","attribution":"Full-length SAT practice tests 4–11 © College Board, published free at satsuite.collegeboard.org.","disclaimer":"Extracted from PDF layout: equations, figures and tables do not survive intact.
