    Question

    In 8, where would the function need to intersect the x-axis so that the lizard can eat the mosquito?

    1. (0, 100)    
    2. (0, 200)    
    3. (200, 0)    
    4. (100, 0)    

    hintHint:

    First, we recall the image and its function with it. Then, we try to observe the points, and lastly, noting down the vertex of the equation we conclude.

    The correct answer is: (100, 0)

      Step 1 of 1:
      Recall,

      Function: y = 2|x|
      The function needs to shift in a way so that it passes through (200, 200) where the insect is located.
      So, to maintain the symmetry of the function, the graph needs to shift two blocks to the right horizontally. In that case, the vertex of the new function is (100, 0). This is where the function intersects the x-axis.
      Final Answer:
      The right choice is-- B. (100, 0)
