1/5+ (-4) is the same as 1/5 - 4
1/5-20/5
-19/5

1/5 + -4 = 1/5 + -20/ 5 = -19/5
In mixed numbers it will be -3 4/5

Find the area of the rectangle with the given base and height.

Temka [501]

Answer: 3 1/3 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by converting the inches into feet

1 ft = 12 in

4 in/1 x 1 ft/ 12 in = 4/12 ft = 1/3 ft

Now, imagine just multiply like normal for a rectangle:

Area of a rectangle = base x height

Area of rectangle = (10 ft) (1/3 ft)

Area of rectangle = 3 1/3 ft^2

Discuss the continuity of the function on the closed interval.Function Intervalf(x) = 9 − x, x ≤ 09 + 12x, x > 0 [−4, 5]The f

quester [9]

Answer:

It is continuous since $\lim_{x\to 0^{-}} = f(0) = \lim_{x \to 0^{+} f(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the function is defined as follows $f(x) = 9-x, x\leq 0$ and $f(x) = 9+12x, x>0$ and we want to check the continuity in the interval [-4,5]. Note that this a piecewise function whose only critical point (that might be a candidate of a discontinuity) x=0 since at this point is where the function "changes" of definition. Note that 9-x and 9+12x are polynomials that are continous over all $\mathbb{R}$ . So F is continous in the intervals [-4,0) and (0,5]. To check if f(x) is continuous at 0, we must check that

$\lim_{x\to 0^{-}} = f(0) = \lim_{x \to 0^{+} f(x)$ (this is the definition of continuity at x=0)

Note that if x=0, then f(x) = 9-x. So, f(0)=9. On the same time, note that

$\lim_{x\to 0^{-}} f(x) = \lim_{x\to 0^{-}} 9-x = 9$ . This result is because the function 9-x is continous at x=0, so the left-hand limit is equal to the value of the function at 0.

Note that when x>0, we have that f(x) = 9+12x. In this case, we have that

$\lim_{x\to 0^{+}} f(x) = \lim_{x\to 0^{+}} 9+12x = 9$ . As before, this result is because the function 9+12x is continous at x=0, so the right-hand limit is equal to the value of the function at 0.
