well, if that function f(x) were to be continuos on all subfunctions, that means that whatever value 7x + k has when x = 2, meets or matches the value that kx² - 6 has when x = 2 as well, so then 7x + k = kx² - 6 when f(2)

$f(x)= \begin{cases} 7x+k,&x\leqslant 2\\ kx^2-6&x > 2 \end{cases}\qquad \qquad f(2)= \begin{cases} 7(2)+k,&x\leqslant 2\\ k(2)^2-6&x > 2 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 7(2)+k~~ = ~~k(2)^2-6\implies 14+k~~ = ~~4k-6 \\\\\\ 14~~ = ~~3k-6\implies 20~~ = ~~3k\implies \cfrac{20}{3}=k$

Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin. r = -5 - 5 cos θ

Grace [21]

Y-axis symmetry=(r, theta)=(-r,theta)
-5-5cos(theta)=r
-r=5+5cos(theta)
no y-axis symmetry
x-axis symmetry=(r,theta)=(r,-theta)
cosine is an even function, so yes it is symmetric around x-axis
origin symmetry=(r,theta)=(-r,theta) or (r, theta+pi)
no, as there is no y-axis symmetry

An alloy consists of nickel, zinc, and copper in the ratio 2:7:9.

almond37 [142]

Zinc = 7/18
Divide 4.9 by 7 = 0.7
Multiply by 18 = 12.6

The answer is 12.6 lbs of alloy. Sorry if I'm wrong
