For what value of c is the function defined below continuous on (-\infty,\infty)?
f(x) =
{x2−c2,X < 4 ; cx+20,x≥4.

Answers

Answer 1
[tex]f(x)= \left \{ {{x^2-c^2,x \ \textless \ 4} \atop {cx+20},x \geq 4} \right [/tex]

It's clear that for x not equal to 4 this function is continuous. So the only question is what happens at 4.
A function, f, is continuous at x = 4 if 
[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 4} \ f(x) = f(4)[/tex]

In notation we write respectively
[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} f(x) \ \ \ \text{ and } \ \ \ \lim_{x \rightarrow 4+} f(x)[/tex]

Now the second of these is easy, because for x > 4, f(x) = cx + 20. Hence limit as x --> 4+ (i.e., from above, from the right) of f(x) is just 4c + 20.

On the other hand, for x < 4, f(x) = x^2 - c^2. Hence 
[tex]\lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} (x^2 - c^2) = 16 - c^2[/tex]

Thus these two limits, the one from above and below are equal if and only if
 4c + 20 = 16 - c² 
 Or in other words, the limit as x --> 4 of f(x) exists if and only if
 4c + 20 = 16 - c²

[tex]c^2+4c+4=0 \\(c+2)^2=0 \\c=-2[/tex]

That is to say, if c = -2, f(x) is continuous at x = 4. 

Because f is continuous for all over values of x, it now follows that f is continuous for all real nubmers [tex](-\infty, +\infty)[/tex]

Solve the system using elimination.

5x + 4y = 12
3x – 3y = 18

Answers

Final answer:

To solve the system of equations using elimination, multiply one equation by a constant so that the coefficients of one variable will be the same in both equations. Then add or subtract the equations to eliminate that variable. Finally, solve for the remaining variable and substitute back to find the complete solution.

Explanation:

To solve the system of equations using elimination, we need to eliminate one variable by adding or subtracting the two equations. In this case, we can eliminate the variable y by multiplying the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4. This will give us:

15x + 12y = 36

12x - 12y = 72

Next, we can add the two equations together to eliminate y:

27x = 108

Dividing both sides by 27, we find that x = 4.

Substituting this value of x back into one of the original equations, we can solve for y:

5x + 4y = 12

5(4) + 4y = 12

20 + 4y = 12

Subtracting 20 from both sides, we get 4y = -8.

Dividing both sides by 4, we find that y = -2.

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 4 and y = -2.

What are the coordinates of the vertex for f(x) = 2x^2 + 4x + 9?

(−2, 4)
(−1, 7)
(1, 15)
(2, 9)

Answers

Looking at y = 2x^2 + 4x + 9, we see it is in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c where
a = 2
b = 4
c = 9
Plug these into h = -b/(2a) to get
h = -b/(2a)
h = -4/(2*2)
h = -1
Then plug this into the function to get
f(x) = 2x^2 + 4x + 9
f(-1) = 2(-1)^2 + 4(-1) + 9
f(-1) = 2(1) + 4(-1) + 9
f(-1) = 2-4+9
f(-1) = -2+9
f(-1) = 7
So the vertex is at (-1,7)

Which could be the dimensions of the rectangular piece of cloth when it is unfolded? Remember, the area of a rectangle can be determined using the formula A = lw.

Answers

we need to factor the expression

[tex] x^{2} + 27x + 162 [/tex]

Equate to zero the expression

[tex] x^{2} + 27x + 162=0 [/tex]

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

[tex] x^{2} + 27x =-162 [/tex]

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

[tex] x^{2} + 27x +182.25=-162+182.25 [/tex]

[tex] x^{2} + 27x +182.25=20.25 [/tex]

[tex] x1=-13.5+4.5= -9 [/tex]

[tex] x2=-13.5-4.5= -18 [/tex]

Hence

[tex] x^{2} + 27x + 162 =(x+9)*(x+18) [/tex]

Remember that the area of the rectangle is equal to

Samuel drove 28 miles in 32 minutes. Beverly drove 42 miles in 48 minutes.

Are the ratios of miles to minutes for Samuel and Beverly proportional?

Answers

28 miles in 32 minutes. We need to find how far in 1 minute, so 32 divided by 32 gives us 1 minute. 28 divided by 32 gives 0.875 miles in a minute.

Apply to Beverly. 48 divided by 48 to give 1 minute. 42 divided by 48 is 0.875 miles in a minute.

The answer is yes, they are proportional.

Answer:

Yes. Ratios of miles to minutes for Samuel and Beverly are proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel's speed can be calculated as following:

[tex]28/32=0,875[/tex]

0,875 miles per minute.

On the other hand Beverly's speed can be calculated as following:

[tex]42/48=0,875[/tex]

0,875 miles per minute

If we convert the speed to mile per hour:

[tex]0,875*60=52,5[/tex]

It can be easily seen that both Samuel and Beverly drove at the same speed at 52,5 miles per hour.

write 158/4 as a mixed number in simplest terms. Thank you.

Answers

It would be: 158/4 = 39.5 = 39 1/2

So, your final answer is 39 1/2

Hope this helps!

Final answer:

The mixed number of 158/4 simplified is 39 1/2. A proportion comparing the ratios 1/48 and w/16 is solved by cross-multiplication resulting in w = 1/3 as the solution.

Explanation:

To write 158/4 as a mixed number in simplest terms, we first divide 158 by 4. When we do this division, 4 goes into 158, 39 times completely, since 4 * 39 = 156, and we get a remainder of 2. Therefore, the mixed number form of 158/4 is 39 2/4. To simplify this fraction further, we divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 2. Simplifying 2/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get 1/2. Hence, the mixed number in its simplest terms is 39 1/2.

To set up a proportion using the given ratios, we start with the ratio 1/48 and set it equal to w/16, which can be represented as:

1/48 = w/16

When solving for w, we cross-multiply to get:

1 * 16 = 48 * w

Which simplifies to:

16 = 48w

Finally, to find the value of w, we divide both sides of the equation by 48, which gives us w = 16/48. Simplifying by dividing both numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor, 16, we get:

w = 1/3

integrate 1 / sqrt(25 - 16x^2) dx

Answers

Final answer:

To integrate 1 / sqrt(25 - 16x^2) dx, we use trigonometric substitution with x = (5/4)sinθ. After substitution, integration, and back-substitution, the result is arcsin(4x/5) + C, where C is the constant of integration.

Explanation:

The integral to solve is ∑ (1 / sqrt(25 - 16x^2)) dx, which resembles the inverse trigonometric function, specifically the arcsine function. To solve this integral, we can use a trigonometric substitution. Since the integral involves a square root of a difference of squares, we can substitute x with (5/4)sinθ, which simplifies the integral considerably.

After substitution, we can then use the derivative of sinθ, which is cosθ, in order to find the full differential dx to replace in our integral. The resulting integral in terms of θ can be integrated using standard techniques, yielding an arcsine function as the antiderivative. After integrating, we must then convert back from θ to x to express the solution to the original integral in the original variable.

The answer to the integral ∑ (1 / sqrt(25 - 16x^2)) dx is arcsin(4x/5) + C, where C is the constant of integration. The substitution step is crucial in solving this type of problem and is a commonly used method in calculus.

find the inverse of f informally. verify that f(f^-1(x))=x and f^-1(f(x))=x

f(x)= (x-1)/5

Answers

Final answer:

To find the inverse of a function, switch x and y and solve for y. The inverse of f(x) = (x-1)/5 is f^-1(x) = 5x + 1. Verify that f(f^-1(x)) = x and f^-1(f(x)) = x.

Explanation:

To find the inverse of a function, we need to switch the roles of x and y and solve for y. In other words, we need to solve the equation y = (x-1)/5 for x. Let's do that:

Step 1: Replace y with x and x with y: x = (y-1)/5.

Step 2: Solve for y: Multiply both sides by 5: 5x = y - 1. Add 1 to both sides: 5x + 1 = y.

So, the inverse of f(x) = (x-1)/5 is f-1(x) = 5x + 1.

To verify that f(f-1(x)) = x, substitute f-1(x) into f(x) and simplify:

f(f-1(x)) = f(5x + 1) = ((5x + 1) - 1)/5 = 5x/5 = x.

Similarly, to verify that f-1(f(x)) = x, substitute f(x) into f-1(x) and simplify:

f-1(f(x)) = f-1((x-1)/5) = 5((x-1)/5) + 1 = x-1+1 = x.

Final answer:

The local hamburger shop sold 116 hamburgers on Saturday. We determined this by setting up an equation where the number of hamburgers (H) plus three times the hamburgers (3H) equaled the total sales of 464 burgers, and then solving for H.

Explanation:

The question asks us to solve a basic algebra problem involving hamburgers and cheeseburgers. Let's define the number of hamburgers sold as H. Since the number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold, we can represent the number of cheeseburgers as 3H. The total number of burgers sold was 464. Now, we can write down the equation:

H + 3H = 464

This simplifies to:

4H = 464

Now, we divide both sides by 4 to find the value of H:

H = 464 / 4

H = 116

So, the local hamburger shop sold 116 hamburgers on Saturday.
