Answer:

Here's a possible example:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =\begin{cases} x & \quad x < 3\\x+3 & \quad x \geq 3\\\end{cases}

Each piece is linear, so the pieces are continuous by themselves.

We need consider only the point at which the pieces meet (x = 3).

\displaystyle \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{-}} x = 3\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{+}} x+3 = 6\\\\f(3) = x + 3 = 6\\\\\displaystyle \lim_{x \longrightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) \neq f(3)

The left-hand limit does not equal ƒ(x), so there is a jump discontinuity at x =3.

Find the value of the variable that results in congruent triangles
sdas [7]

Answer:

  y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangles will be congruent when corresponding sides are congruent. __

We already have ...

  KL ≅ NP . . . = 15 mm

  JL ≅ MP . . . = 22 mm

So, we need ...

  JK ≅ MN

  4y +12 = 32 . . . . substitute given values

This will be the case when ...

  4y = 20 . . . . . subtract 12

  y = 5 . . . . . . . divide by 4

The value of y that makes the triangles congruent is 5.
