The human stomach needs to maintain a pH level between 1 and 2 in order to properly digest food. What is true regarding the environment of the human stomach?

Choose 1

(Choice A)
A
It is acidic.

(Choice B)
B
It is basic.

(Choice C)
C
It is neutral.

(Choice D)
D
It can switch between being basic and acidic.

the correct answer is 2 and 4

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.
