<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

f: R → R is a continuous function such that:

f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)------(1)  ∀  x,y ∈ R

Now, let us assume f(1)=k

Also,

  • f(0)=0

(  Since,

f(0)=f(0+0)

i.e.

f(0)=f(0)+f(0)

By using property (1)

Also,

f(0)=2f(0)

i.e.

2f(0)-f(0)=0

i.e.

f(0)=0  )

Also,

  • f(2)=f(1+1)

i.e.

f(2)=f(1)+f(1)         ( By using property (1) )

i.e.

f(2)=2f(1)

i.e.

f(2)=2k

  • Similarly for any m ∈ N

f(m)=f(1+1+1+...+1)

i.e.

f(m)=f(1)+f(1)+f(1)+.......+f(1) (m times)

i.e.

f(m)=mf(1)

i.e.

f(m)=mk

Now,

f(1)=f(\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{n}+.......+\dfrac{1}{n})=f(\dfrac{1}{n})+f(\dfrac{1}{n})+....+f(\dfrac{1}{n})\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\f(\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{n}+.......+\dfrac{1}{n})=nf(\dfrac{1}{n})=f(1)=k\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\f(\dfrac{1}{n})=k\cdot \dfrac{1}{n}

Also,

  • when x∈ Q

i.e.  x=\dfrac{p}{q}

Then,

f(\dfrac{p}{q})=f(\dfrac{1}{q})+f(\dfrac{1}{q})+.....+f(\dfrac{1}{q})=pf(\dfrac{1}{q})\\\\i.e.\\\\f(\dfrac{p}{q})=p\dfrac{k}{q}\\\\i.e.\\\\f(\dfrac{p}{q})=k\dfrac{p}{q}\\\\i.e.\\\\f(x)=kx\ for\ all\ x\ belongs\ to\ Q

(

Now, as we know that:

Q is dense in R.

so Э x∈ Q' such that Э a seq belonging to Q such that:

\to x )

Now, we know that: Q'=R

This means that:

Э α ∈ R

such that Э sequence a_n such that:

a_n\ belongs\ to\ Q

and

a_n\to \alpha

f(a_n)=ka_n

( since a_n belongs to Q )

Let f is continuous at x=α

This means that:

f(a_n)\to f(\alpha)\\\\i.e.\\\\k\cdot a_n\to f(\alpha)\\\\Also\\\\k\cdot a_n\to k\alpha

This means that:

f(\alpha)=k\alpha

                       This means that:

                    f(x)=kx for every x∈ R

Can someone help me its urgent:( ??
wariber [46]

Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify

Let

x ---> the cost of the Xbox one at Walmart

Strategy

we know that

The cost of the Xbox one at Walmart multiplied by 2 plus $50 must be equal to $450

Set up

The algebraic expression that represent this situation is

450=2x+50

Solve

solve for x

450=2x+50

2x=450-50\\2x=400\\x=\$200

Check

substitute the value of x in the equation

450=2(200)+50

450=450 ----> is ok

Need help with graph
andre [41]

Because the domain refers to the set of possible input values, the domain of a graph consists of all the input values shown on the x-axis. The range is the set of possible output values, which are shown on the y-axis.

The domain is the values of x between 1 and 7

The range
