Question

which statement appears to be true? the equation of the axis of the graph of the function is (4, 1) the equation of the axis of symmetry of the graph of the function is x = 1 the function has 3 zeros the maximu funct

Explanation:

Step1: Recall zero - definition

The zeros of a function are the x - values where the graph of the function intersects the x - axis.

Step2: Analyze the graph

The graph of the function intersects the x - axis at three distinct points.

Step3: Recall axis of symmetry

The axis of symmetry of a parabola is a vertical line \(x = h\) where \(h\) is the x - coordinate of the vertex. The vertex here is not at \(x = 1\), and \((4,1)\) is not the vertex.

Answer:

The function has 3 zeros
