\bf f(x)=
\begin{cases}
x^3&x\le 1\\
mx+b&x\ \textgreater \ 1
\end{cases}

now, a function may well be continuous, but it may not be differentiable.

graph wise, differentiability means, a smooth curve, with no abrupt spikes or drops or cuts.

so for this piece-wise to be differentiable, the subfunctions must meet at junctions smoothly, with no abrupt changes, so mx + b, must blend in with x³ smoothly.

now, that can only occur if mx + b has the same slope as x³ at that point where they meet.  The point where they meet is at x = 1, well, let's check what is the slope of x³ at x = 1.

\bf \cfrac{d}{dx}[x^3]\implies \left.  3x^2\cfrac{}{}\right|_{x=1}\implies 3(1)^2\implies 3

therefore "m" for mx+b, must be 3 then.

now, what's the value of x³ at x = 1?  well is just (1)³, which is 1.

so for 3x + b, when x = 1, it must also equals 1 as well, that way it meets x³, thus

3x + b

3(1) + b = 1

b = -2

check the graph below.

How many times does the digit 7 appear among the terms of the sequence of consecutive integer numbers 7, 8, 9, ...., 777?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

234 times

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Number of times the number 7 appears in a hundred</u>

7 as units digit (07-17-27 ..... 97): 10 times

7 as tens digit (70-71-72..... 79): 10 times

20 times the digit 7 appears in first one hundred (0-100)

Let's calculate how many times 7 would be as units or tens in 7 hundreds

20X7 = 140 times digit 7 appears until number 699

<u>Now, from 700 to 777</u>

7 as hundreds digit (700-701-702 .... 777): 78 times

7 as tens digit (770-771-772 .... 777): 8 times

7 as units digit (707-717-727....777): 8 times

78 + 8 + 8 = 94 times the digit 7 appears in the range 700 - 777. Plus 140 times

140 + 94 = 234 times

which three numbers make a right triangle the square root of 4 the square root of 5 the square root of 9 + square root of 6 the
statuscvo [17]
Please, group your sets of numbers, using {   }  notation or at least semicolons ( ; ).  Thanks.

Looking at what I think is your first set:   { sqrt(4), sqrt(5), sqrt(16) }

Square each of these and then subst. the results into the Pythagorean Theorem:

  { 4, 5, 16 }        Do 4 and 5 when added together result in 16?  NO.
Therefore,   { sqrt(4), sqrt(5), sqrt(16) }  does not produce a right triangle.

Your turn.  Pick out the next 3 numbers and test them using the Pyth. Thm.
