Is the function continuous at x = -17

Pavlova-9 [17]

For a function to be continuous at an x-value, say -17, you need to make sure two things line up:

The limit from the left equals the limit from the right.

$\lim_{x \to -17^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} f(x)$

This limit equals the functions value.

$\lim_{x \to -17} f(x) = f(-17)$

The left hand limit involves the first piece, f(x) = 20x + 1:

$\begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -17^{-}} f(x) &= \lim_{x \to -17^{-}} (20x+1)\\[0.5em]&= 20(-17)+1\\[0.5em]&= -339\endaligned}$

The right hand limit invovles the second piece, f(x) = -10x^2:

$\begin{aligned} \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} f(x) &= \lim_{x \to -17^{+}} (-10x^2)\\[0.5em]&= -10\cdot (-17)^2\\[0.5em]&= -2890\endaligned}$

Since the two one-sided limits don't match, the function is not continuous at x=-17.

PLEASE HELP!! (only need answers to B and C)

Natasha2012 [34]

B: The Probability is 16%
C: Yes, Liking Diet soda isn't caused by liking a hamburger so therefor they would be independent events. One does not effect the other is another way to look at it.

Hope this helps! (P.S. Please mark as Brainliest ;))

What is the length x of PQ

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rectangulars are similar then we can use similarity ratio to calculate value of x

CD is similar to RS and AB is similar to QP

4/6.4 = 7/x cross multiply expressions

4x = 44.8 divide both sides by 4

x = 11.2

A model rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 200 ft per second. The height h, in feet, of the rocket t seconds after t

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

2.10 s, 10.40 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the height of the rocket is given by the function:

$h=-16t^2+200t$

We are asked to find the time for which the height of the rocket will be 350 ft. So, for that moment, we know the height but we don't know the time; however, we know that the equation can help us to find the time, doing h=350:

$350=-16t^2+200t$

The last is a quadratic equation, which can be put in the form $at^2+bt+c=0$ and solved applying the formula:

$t=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

So, let's put the equation on the form $at^2+bt+c=0$ adding $16t^2$ and subtracting $200t$ to each side of the equation; the result is:

$16t^2-200t+350=0$

So, we note that a=16, b=-200, and c=350.

Then,

$t_1=\frac{200-\sqrt{200^2-4*16*350} }{2*16}=2.10$

$t_2=\frac{200+\sqrt{200^2-4*16*350} }{2*16}=10.40$

According to the equation, that are the times for which the height will be 350 ft; that is because the rocket is going to ascend and then to fail again to the ground.
