Answer:
Option B) The height, in inches, of a typical apple tree
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x----> the number of years, after the tree was planted
y ---> the height in inches, of a typical golden delicious apple tree
we have
Remember that
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
In this problem
The y-intercept is the height of the tree when it was planted (x=0)
Given function is
now we need to find the value of k such that function f(x) continuous everywhere.
We know that any function f(x) is continuous at point x=a if left hand limit and right hand limits at the point x=a are equal.
So we just need to find both left and right hand limits then set equal to each other to find the value of k
To find the left hand limit (LHD) we plug x=-4 into 3x+k
so LHD= 3(-4)+k
To find the Right hand limit (RHD) we plug x=-4 into
so RHD=
Now set both equal
k=-0.47
<u>Hence final answer is -0.47.</u>
