Answer:

option A: x + 1.5y ≤ 20

option C: x + 3y ≤ 36

option D: x ≥ 0

option H: y ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

It says to assume x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce.

Since the number of items can not be a negative number, we have x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0.

Condition: He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack.

Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar.

If he buys 'x' packs of pasta and 'y' jars of pasta sauce, then:-

Total cost = 1x + 3y ≤ 36 dollars.

and Total weight = 1x + 1.5y ≤ 20 pounds.

Hence, we have four inequalities:-

option A: x + 1.5y ≤ 20

option C: x + 3y ≤ 36

option D: x ≥ 0

option H: y ≥ 0

Observe the expression below and select the true statement(s).

DENIUS [597]

Answer: The 9 in the second term is a coefficient that is true. I think that is the only thing that is true. There may be one more thing that is true.

The 10 in the third term is not a coefficient.

The 2 is not a constant

the x is not an exponent.

those are the ones that I'm sure about.

Please correct anything if i'm wrong.

Calculus piecewise function.

Kipish [7]

Part A

The notation $\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}f(x)$ means that we're approaching x = 2 from the right hand side (aka positive side). This is known as a right hand limit.

So we could start at say x = 2.5 and get closer to 2 by getting to x = 2.4 then to x = 2.3 then 2.2, 2.1, 2.01, 2.001, etc

We don't actually arrive at x = 2 itself. We simply move closer and closer.

Since we're on the positive or right hand side of 2, this means we go with the rule involving x > 2

Therefore f(x) = (x/2) + 1

Plug in x = 2 to find that...

f(x) = (x/2) + 1

f(2) = (2/2) + 1

f(2) = 2

This shows $\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}f(x) = 2$

Then for the left hand limit $\lim_{x \to 2^{-}}f(x)$ , we'll involve x < 2 and we go for the first piece. So,

f(x) = 3-x

f(2) = 3-2

f(2) = 1

Therefore, $\lim_{x \to 2^{-}}f(x) = 1$

===============================================================

Part B

Because $\lim_{x \to 2^{+}}f(x) \ne \lim_{x \to 2^{-}}f(x)$ this means that the limit $\lim_{x \to 2}f(x)$ does not exist.

If you are a visual learner, check out the graph below of the piecewise function. Notice the gap or disconnect at x = 2. This can be thought of as two roads that are disconnected. There's no way for a car to go from one road to the other. Because of this disconnect, the limit doesn't exist at x = 2.

===============================================================

Part C

You'll follow the same type of steps shown in part A.

However, keep in mind that x = 4 is above x = 2, so we'll deal with x > 2 only.

So you'd only involve the second piece f(x) = (x/2) + 1

You should find that f(4) = 3, and that both left and right hand limits equal this value. The left and right hand limits approach the same y value. The limit does exist here. There are no gaps to worry about when x = 4.

===============================================================

Part D

As mentioned earlier, since $\lim_{x \to 4^{+}}f(x) = \lim_{x \to 4^{-}}f(x) = 3$ , this means the limit $\lim_{x \to 4}f(x)$ does exist and it's equal to 3.
