Answer:

Yes, F is a continuous function of r

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

When r<R

F(r)=\frac{GMr}{R^3}

r\geq R

F(r)=\frac{GM}{r^2}

Where M=Mass of the earth

R=Radius of earth

G=Gravitational constant

We have to find the function is continuous of r or not.

LHL

\lim_{r\rightarrow R-}\frac{GMr}{R^3}=\frac{GMR}{R^3}=\frac{GM}{R^2}

RHL

\lim_{r\rightarrow R+}\frac{GM}{R^2}=\frac{GM}{R^2}

F(R)=\frac{GM}{R^2}

When a function is continuous at x=a

Then, LHL=RHL=f(a)

RHL==LHL=F(R)

Hence, the function is continuous of r.

Help pls look at the picture
Alika [10]

Answer:

Option A: -\frac{4}{3} is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Slope of the line = \frac{3}{4}

Let,

m be the slope of the line perpendicular to the line with slope \frac{3}{4}

We know that,

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is equals to -1.

Therefore,

\frac{3}{4}.m=-1\\

Multiplying both sides by \frac{4}{3}

\frac{4}{3}*\frac{3}{4}m=-1*\frac{4}{3}\\

m = -\frac{4}{3}

-\frac{4}{3} is the slope of the line perpendicular to the line having slope \frac{3}{4}

Hence,

Option A: -\frac{4}{3} is the correct answer.

Alecsey [184]

Answer: 101

Step-by-step explanation:

45 women total

17 women will not watch the game

So 33 people did not want to watch the game and 17 are women

33-17 = 16 men who won’t watch the game

So 40 men who will and 16 men who won’t equals 56 men and 45 women

56+45= 101
