We need to read the graph and see which statement describes the function.
We will see that the correct option is A: "The function is negative when x < 0"
First let's see the important things of the graph:
- At x near zero, in the positive side, the function tends to infinity.
- At x near zero, in the negative side, the function tends to negative infinity.
- As the absolute value of x increases, the function tends to zero.
Then we know that this is an inverse function like:
y = f(x) = 1/x
Now let's see which statement correctly describes the function:
A) The function is negative when x < 0.
This is true, you can see that when x < 0, the function is below the horizontal axis, thus for x < 0 the function is negative.
