Which variable is discrete

Mathematics

Aloiza [94]3 years ago

Answer:

C. The number of runners in a race

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables can be widely be classified as either discrete or continuous. A continuous variable is a variable which can take on any value within its domain. A continuous variable can take on fraction of units. Examples of continuous variables include;

time to finish a race - it can be 10.5 sec or 35.56 sec

temperature at start of race - the temperature could be 25.5 K, or 45.57 K

length of race in kilometers - the length could be 20 km, 22.45 km or 38.8 km

All the above variables can be measured in fraction of units and are thus continuous in nature.

On the other hand, a variable is said to be discrete if it can take on only integer values. An example in this case would be ;

the number of runners in a race. We can only have, 10, 45, 600, 565 and so on runners but never a fraction of a runner.

Bonjour!

For A, the two angles are congruent by the Corresponding Angles are Congruent Theorem/Postulate.

For B, the two angles are congruent by the Vertical Angels are Congruent Theorem/Postulate.

As for C, the two angles are congruent by the Same Side Exterior Theorem/Postulate.(Though I am uncertain if that is the correct name for this one)

Hope that helps :)

Can you help me with this please..
jonny [76]

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so it's asking for what (1/(x-1) - 2/(x^2-1)) approaches as x approaches 1. Before we deal with the limit, let's simplify the inside.

We want to combine the two fractions into one fraction. Therefore, we need a common denominator.

1/(x-1) is equal to (x+1)/((x+1)(x-1) is equal to (x+1)/(x^2-1).

the inside expression is therefore (x+1)/(x^2-1) - 2/(x^2-1)

which simplifies to (x-1)/(x^2-1).

and that simplifies further to 1/(x+1).

Now this is a continuous function when x = 1, so to find the limit as x approaches 1 of this function, we can by definition just plug 1 in.

limx->1 (1/(x+1)) = 1/2.

The reason why we didn't just plug 1 in at the beginning is because the function wasn't continuous when x was 1.
