Notice that the rule of correspondence of g is a quadratic expression:

[tex]g(x)=-x^2+9x-20[/tex]

Since the coefficient of x² is -1, then the parabola must open down.

The options that display a parabola that opens down are A and B.

Observe that option A displays the graph of a parabola whose x-intercepts are 4 and 5, while the option B displays the graph of a parabola whose only x-intercept is 3.

Evaluate g at 3, 4 and 5 to check which numbers make g(x)=0.

[tex]\begin{gathered} g(3)=-(3)^2+9(3)-20=-2 \\ g(4)=-(4)^2+9(4)-20=0 \\ g(5)=-(5)^2+9(5)-20=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

As we can see, g(x)=0 when x=4 and when x=5.

The only graph that correctly displays this feature is that shown in option A.

Therefore, the graph of g is shown in option A.

The correct choice is option A.
