Y2-y1/x2-x1
8-[-13]/17-17
21/0
this is called undefined because its denominator is zero.
Answer:
x+1 , x<-1
x²-bx-4 , -1≤x≤4
1/2 x +a
substitute x=-1 , continuous everywhere
x+1=x²-bx-4 when x=-1
-1+1=-1²-b-4
<h2>1+b-4=0 ⇒ +b-3 ⇒ b=3</h2>
then for :
x²-bx-4=1/2 x +a for x=4
4²-4b-4=1/2x+a
16-4(3)-4=4/2+a
16-12-4-2=a
<h2>a=-2</h2>
the equations will be :
x+1
x²-3x-4
1/2x-2
I hope this help
The slope of the line can be defined as y = mx + b, where m is the slope
To find the slope, one will need to use the expression Δy/Δx (y final - y initial)/(x final - x initial)
For this problem, that equals 1/3
Now we will use the point slope form
(y - y initial) = m (x - x initial):
y + 1 = 1/3 (x - 2)
y = 1/3x - 5/3
The absolute value inequality can be decomposed into two simpler ones.
x < 0
x > -8

Which two inequalities can be used?</h3>
Here we start with the inequality:
3|x + 4| - 5 < 7
First we need to isolate the absolute value part:
3|x + 4| < 7 + 5
|x + 4| < (7 + 5)/3
|x + 4| < 12/3
|x + 4| < 4
The absolute value inequality can now be decomposed into two simpler ones:
x + 4 < 4
x + 4 > - 4
Solving both of these we get:
x < 4 - 4
x > -4 - 4
x < 0
x > -8
These are the two inequalities.
