Answer:
The unknown number is
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make the unknown number x.
The sum of 5 TIMES a number (x) & 8 is 9.
Let's write it mathematically.
5x + 8 =9
We are trying to find the unknown number, so let's remove all the numbers from the left side to find x. Minus 8.
5x=1
5x is basically 5 times x, so to find x, we need to divide and from there we can remove 5.
x=
a) We kindly invite to check the image attached below to see a detailed graph of the <em>piecewise</em> function.
b) The <em>piecewise</em> function is continuous.
<h3>How to understand a piecewise function</h3>A <em>piecewise</em> function is a <em>conditional</em> combination of two or more functions, whose expression depends on which value of the domain is the function evaluated at.
a) The <em>piecewise</em> function described in the question is plotted on a graphing tool (i.e. <em>Desmos</em>), whose result is presented in the image attached below.
b) A function is <em>continuous</em> if and only if there is one value from range for every value of domain. The <em>piecewise</em> function is continuous as <em>linear</em> functions are continuous and the two functions of the <em>conditional</em> combination have the same value for x = 30.
