Lucy plans to buy a refrigerator she wants a large model so it has enough space for all the food she needs to store lucy wants a refrigerator that does not use too much electricity. which statement explains why there is no perfect solution for lucy’s need

Lucy needs to sacrifice one or the other, but she cannot get a large refrigerator that uses little electricity. The larger it is, and the more items it holds, the more electricity it will require.

idk im sorry.

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.
