Now, bearing in mind that, for a graph, to be "differentiable", means a "smooth transition", not an abrupt edge or a "cusp", the first subfunction of the piece-wise is just a quadratic, the second subfunction is a linear, well, so the linear needs to hit the quadratic "smoothly", not make an abrupt edge, for that, the linear must continue the quadratic from 2 onwards, since 2 is the range edge.

now, what is the piece-wise when x = 2? well, f(2) = x² or (2)² or 4

that means, the linear needs to hit it at that point, to make it so, let's make it the slope of the linear, the same as the quadratic's.

what's the quadratic's slope? well, simple enough

\bf \left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=2x \right|_{x=2}\implies 4\impliedby \textit{this means }
\begin{array}{llll}
mx+b\\
\uparrow \\
4
\end{array}

so we have y = 4x + b

now, recall, for the quadratic, when x =2, y = 4, so for the linear, when x = 2, y = 4 as well, this means

\bf 4 = 4(2) + b\implies 4=8+b\implies 4-8=b\implies \boxed{-4=b}
\\\\\\
mx+b\implies 4x-4\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)=
\begin{cases}
x^2&x\le 2\\
4x-4&x\ \textgreater \ 2
\end{cases}

Answer:

178 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

convert feet to inches

9 x 12 = 108

11 x 12 = 132

108 x 132 = 14256

8 x 10 = 80

14256/80 = 178 with a little left over

You can represent the measures of an angle and its complement as x° and (90 − x)°. Similarly, you can represent the measures of
UNO [17]
X = 4(180 - x)
x = 720 - 4x
4x + x = 720
5x = 720
x = 720/5
x = 144

180 - x =
180 - 144 =
36

the measure of the angle is 144...the measure of its supplement is 36

A ball with mass m kg is thrown upward with initial velocity 28 m/s from the roof of a building 17 m high. Neglect air resistanc
Nutka1998 [239]

a. At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity, so

-\left(28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2(-g)(y_{\rm max}-17\,\mathrm m)

\implies y_{\rm max}=57\,\mathrm m

b. The ball's height in the air y at time t is given according to

y=17\,\mathrm m+\left(28\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2

Solve for t when y=0:

17+28t-4.9t^2=0\implies t\approx6.3\,\mathrm s
