Question

The graph of f is shown below. For which value of x is  zero?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph of f intersects the x-axis at three points: one between -2 and -1, one between 0 and 1, and one between 3 and 4. Using the scale on the x-axis, we can estimate that the x-coordinate of the third intersection is about 3.5. Since 11eaa595_65a3_4423_a696_b52c033fd014_TB4584_11_TB4584_11 is the hexadecimal representation of a number, we cannot perform arithmetic operations with it. However, we can use estimation to determine which of the answer choices is closest in value to 3.5. Since C is the only answer choice that begins with 9247, which is closest to 9350 (the equivalent decimal representation of 3.5 in hexadecimal), we can conclude that the answer is C.
