Given:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

To find:

The value of [tex](f+g)(x)[/tex].

Solution:

The given functions are:

[tex]f(x)=|x|+9[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=-6[/tex]

Now,

[tex](f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)[/tex]

[tex](f+g)(x)=|x|+9+(-6)[/tex]

[tex](f+g)(x)=|x|+9-6[/tex]

[tex](f+g)(x)=|x|+3[/tex]

We know that,

[tex]|x|\geq 0[/tex]

Adding 3 on both sides, we get

[tex]|x|+3\geq 0+3[/tex]

[tex](f+g)(x)\geq 3[/tex]

So, [tex](f+g)(x)\geq 3[/tex] for all values of x.

Hence, the correct option is A.
