- In quadrant 2 the curve falls sharply to cross the x axis at point (negative 1 comma 0).
- In quadrant 3 the curve falls sharply to cross the y axis at point (0 comma negative 5.5).
- In quadrant 4:
- The curve falls gradually to a relative minimum at point (1 comma negative 7).
- The curve rises sharply to cross the x axis at point (4 comma 0).
- In quadrant 1:
- The curve rises sharply to a relative maximum at point (5.5 comma 3).
- The curve falls sharply to cross the x axis at point (7 comma 0).
- In quadrant 4 the curve falls sharply.
The graph of is shown, where the function is defined by and , , , and are constants. For how many values of does ?
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Choice C is correct. If a value of satisfies , the graph of will contain a point and thus touch the x-axis. Since there are points at which this graph touches the x-axis, there are values of for which .
Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
