Three consecutive odd integers have a sum of 3.what are the number

1 answer:

6 0

X = smallest odd
x + 2 = second odd
x + 4 = third odd

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 3
3x + 6 = 3
3x = -3
x = -1

The numbers are -1, 1, 3. Hope this helps!

Determine the values of the constants b and c so that the function given below is differentiable. f(x)={2xbx2+cxx≤1x>1

Lera25 [3.4K]

Assuming the function is

$f(x)=\begin{cases}2x&\text{for }x\le1\\bx^2+cx&\text{for }x>1\end{cases}$

For $f(x)$ to be differentiable, it necessarily has to be continuous. For this condition to be met, we need

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}f(x)=\lim_{x\to1^+}f(x)=f(1)$
$\iff\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}2x=\lim_{x\to1}(bx^2+cx)$
$\iff2=b+c$

For the derivative to exist, the one-sided limits of the derivative must also exist and be equal. We have

$f'(x)=\begin{cases}2&\text{for }x1\end{cases}$

$\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1^-}2=\lim_{x\to1^+}(2bx+c)$
$\iff2=2b+c$

Now we solve for $b$ and $c$ :

$\begin{cases}b+c=2\\2b+c=2\end{cases}\implies b=0,c=2$
