Yes, I can see that...
However, it does not depend upon crossing the x-axis. Given the "proper" values, it could cross the x-axis a number of times and never reach .2 within the range. But it does, so 4 IS the correct answer. |

I should have been more clear in my response: The line crosses the x-axis 4 times and clearly has values that exceed .2 so it stands to reason that it must pass through .2 4 times. |

Sure. I thought it meant a straight line...as in a line segment, which is what we programmers are used to defining as a line. Going back and reading it, I'll say E is the answer because the shape of the curve is not parabolic.

If the function were a line, the slopes of the segments (0,-9),(1, -4) and (1, -4), (3,0) would be the same. However, the slope of (0,-9),(1, -4) is 5, and the slope of (1, -4), (3,0) is 2. The graph of f cannot be a line.
However, if the function (undefined in the problem) was, say, y=(x-3)^2, ((x-3) squared), the graph would contain the points (0,-9),(1, -4), (3,0), a parabola symmetric to y=3. Max value of f is at (3,0) and y<=0 for all points x, y in f. |
