SOLUTION

Image
On the graph above, when x = 1/2, y = 2; and when x = 1, y = 1. The graph is symmetric with respect to the vertical line at x = 2. According to the graph, when x = 3, y =

(A) -1
(B) -1/2
(C) 0
(D) 1/2
(E) 1

Since the graph is symmetric with respect to line x = 2, then the value of y when x = 3 will be the same as the value of y when x = 1, so 1.

Answer: E.

(E) 1

its symmetric with respect to x=2.
when x=1, 1 unit to the left of x(2), y is 1.
when x=3, 1 unit to the right of x(2), y should again be 1 as it is symmetric.

Half of the entire graph is a mirror image of the other side. The center coordinate is (2,0) according to the graph. Thus, y when x=1 and y when x-3 are equal.

Answer: E
