In piecewise linear functions, the endpoint of one segment and the initial point of the next segment can have the same x-coordinate but a different value of f(x).
Such difference in values is called a step or discontinuity and such a function is called a discontinuous function.
Here in this case, there are 3 discontinuities: x=-3, x=3 and x = 5.
x = -3 because x is smaller than or greater than -3 but not equal.
x = 3 since greater than 3 in one of the inequalities.
x = 5 since x is smaller than 5 in one of the limits.
D because divide both sides by nine
hey what's up! the answer is c
Answer:
Choice D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The eccentricity of the conic section is 1, implying we are looking at a parabola. Parabolas are the only conic sections with an eccentricity of 1.
Next, the directrix of this parabola is located at x = 4. This implies that the parabola opens towards the left and thus the denominator of its polar equation contains a positive cosine function.
Finally, the value of k in the numerator is simply the product of the eccentricity and the absolute value of the directrix;
k = 1*4 = 4
This polar equation is given by alternative D
