Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 4: Which graph represents \( h(x) \leq -2\sqrt{x} - 1 \)?**
This image features three graphs, each depicting a shaded region corresponding to the inequality \( h(x) \leq -2\sqrt{x} - 1 \). The choice is to determine which graph accurately represents this inequality.
**Graph Descriptions:**
1. **Graph 1 (Top):**
- The curve appears as a square root function that opens downward.
- The shading is above the curve.
- The graph originates from the right and curves downward to the left within a limited positive x and negative y range.
2. **Graph 2 (Middle):**
- The curve resembles an upside-down square root function.
- The shading is below the curve.
- It starts from the x-axis moving to the left and downwards.
3. **Graph 3 (Bottom):**
- Similar to Graph 2, this curve also reflects an inverted square root function.
- The shading is below the curve.
- Extends from the x-axis moving down and slightly to the right.
The task requires identifying which graph accurately represents the inequality \( h(x) \leq -2\sqrt{x} - 1 \) through observing the direction and position of the shaded region relative to the square root curve.
