Part (a):
We are given that Z is the <span>centroid of triangle RST. This means that Z is the point of intersection of the three medians of the triangle.
In other words:
W is the midpoint of RS
V is the midpoint of RT
We are given that:
RV = 4x + 3 and VT = 2x + 9
Since V is the midpoint, then:
RV = VT
4x + 3 = 2x + 9
4x - 2x = 9 - 3
2x = 6
x = 3

Part (b):
We are given that:
WS = 5x-1
x = 3
Therefore:
WS = 5(3) - 1 
WS = 15 - 1 = 14

Part (c):
Since W is the midpoint of RS, therefore RW = WS
We calculated WS = 14
Therefore:
RW = 14

We have the following three conclusions about the <em>piecewise</em> function evaluated at x = 14.75:

  1. \lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) = 66.
  2. \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t) = 10.
  3. \lim_{t \to 14.75} f(t) does not exist as \lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) \ne  \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t).

<h3>How to determinate the limit in a piecewise function</h3>

In a <em>piecewise</em> function, the limit for a given value exists when the two <em>lateral</em> limits are the same and, thus, continuity is guaranteed. Otherwise, the limit does not exist.  

According to the definition of <em>lateral</em> limit and by observing carefully the figure, we have the following conclusions:

  1. \lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) = 66.
  2. \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t) = 10.
  3. \lim_{t \to 14.75} f(t) does not exist as \lim_{t \to 14.75^{-}} f(t) \ne  \lim_{t \to 14.75^{+}} f(t).

How to determine whether to move right or left on the number line when adding rational numbers?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
So if you're adding two negatives you move left, positive you move right, and when you have to determine a negative, and a positive you just have to see which one is the farthest from zero which the farthest one's sign is either positive, or negative. Positive to move right, and negative to move left.

Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara. In 4 years, Ralph will be only twice as old as Sara will be then. Find Ralph's age now. Ralph's
IgorLugansk [536]
Let
R = Ralph's age
S = Sara's age

First statement is translated as:
S = 3R

Second statement is translated as:
S + 4 = 2(R + 4)

Use the first equation to be substituted into the second one in terms of R which is the one we are actually going to solve for Ralph's age.
Since S = 3R, then
3R + 4 = 2(R + 4)
3R + 4 = 2R + 8
3R - 2R = 8 - 4
R = 4 years old
