Step-by-Step Solution

The problem involves determining the equations corresponding to a blue absolute value graph and a red horizontal line based on a given graph.

Firstly, consider the blue absolute value graph:

  • It is symmetric and has a "V" shape, typically expressed as f(x)=xh+k f(x) = |x - h| + k .
  • The vertex, or minimum point, of this graph is at (6, 6). Hence, the equation can be written as f(x)=x6 f(x) = |x - 6| , because at x=6 x = 6 , the function value is at its minimum.
  • The value of k k , the vertical shift, is not explicitly needed here since the vertex already indicates the graph reaches down to the x-axis and f(x)=x6+0 f(x) = |x - 6| + 0 .

Next, assess the red horizontal line:

  • This line crosses the y-axis at y=3 y = 3 , which aligns with the horizontal segment at points (3, 3) and (9, 3).
  • Thus, the constant function equation is g(x)=3 g(x) = 3 .

Upon evaluation of the given choices, choice 1 corresponds correctly with these interpretations:

{f(x)=x6g(x)=3 \begin{cases} f(x)= |x-6| \\ g(x)=3 \end{cases}

Therefore, the correct set of functions is f(x)=x6 f(x) = |x - 6| and g(x)=3 g(x) = 3 .

Answer

{f(x)=x6g(x)=3 \begin{cases} f(x)= |x-6| \\ g(x)=3 \end{cases}
