EASY SCIENCE QUESTION NEED HELP URGENTLY In mitosis, replication occurs before the cell divides. What is the purpose of replication?
1) to provide each new cell with an exact duplicate of the original DNA
2) to transfer half of the traits of the parent cell to each new daughter cell
3) to remove defective base pairs from the DNA before the parent cell divides 4)to divide the parent cell's genes equally between the two new daughter cells​

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.
