First of all, x>y
x-y=40
and
x+y=66
add them equations together to eliminate

x-y=40
<u>x+y=66 +</u>
2x+0y=106

2x=106
divide by 2
x=53

sub back
x-y=40
53-y=40
minus 53 both sides
-y=-13
y=13


the numbers are 53 and 13

Answer:

  C.  jump discontinuity at x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

At x=-2, you have to lift your pencil to keep drawing the graph. That means there's a jump discontinuity there.

This function has a jump discontinuity at x = -2.

__

<em>Additional comments</em>

At x=3, there is no discontinuity in the function. The <em>derivative</em> of the function has a discontinuity there, as there is an abrupt change in slope at that point.

If left and right limits exist and are the same at a point, but the graph is not defined at that point, then a <em>removable</em> discontinuity exists. All that is needed to fill the hole is to define the function at that point.
