Question

Which of the following functions describe the graph shown in the below figure?

Options :

  1. 𝑦 = ||π‘₯| + 1| βˆ’ 2

  2. 𝑦 = ||π‘₯| βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1

  3. 𝑦 = ||π‘₯| + 1| βˆ’ 1

  4. 𝑦 = ||π‘₯ βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1|

Show Answer

Answer :

𝑦 = ||π‘₯| βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1

Solution :

From the given graph,

When x = 0, y = 0

x = Β±1, y = -1

x = Β±2, y = 0

x = Β±3, y = 0

Now, let check the given options for the values of x = 0, Β±1, Β±2, Β±3


For x = 0:

y = ||x| + 1| βˆ’ 2 = -1 (fails)

y = ||x| βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1 = 0

y = ||x| + 1| βˆ’ 1 = 0

y = ||x βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1| = 0

For x = Β±1:

y = ||x| βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1 = -1

y = ||x| + 1| βˆ’ 1 = 1 (fails)

y = ||x βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1| = 1 (fails)

For x = Β±2:

y = ||x| βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1 = 0

For x = Β±3:

y = ||x| βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1 = 1

Only y = ||x| βˆ’ 1| βˆ’ 1 satisfies the given graph
