Answer:
A: the proposed route is 3.09 miles, so exceeds the city's limit
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the route in grid squares can be found using the Pythagorean theorem on the two parts of the route. Let 'a' represent the length of the route to the park from the start, and 'b' represent the route length from the park to the finish. Then we have (in grid squares) ...
a^2 = (12-6)^2 +3^2 = 45
a = √45 = 3√5
and
b^2 = (6 -2)^2 +4^2 = 32
b = √32 = 4√2
Then the total length, in grid squares, is ...
3√5 + 4√2 = 6.7082 +5.6569 = 12.3651
If each grid square is 1/4 mile, then 12.3651 grid squares is about ...
(12.3651 squares) · (1/4 mile/square) = 3.0913 miles
The proposed route is too long by 0.09 miles.
For

to be continuous at

, we need to have

Note that

means that

, but that

is *approaching* 5. We're told that for

, we have

We can write

and the limit would be

and so

is discontinuous.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
The existence of the constant rate of change is given the ratio of y to x is the same. Then:






In consequence, the constant rate of change is 16.
