Time is continuous.

 If it was possible to measure EXACTLY the time it takes a person (or group of people) to evaluate 27 + 72 (=99), the time(s) people took could be 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 2.5 seconds, 2.25 seconds, 2.22 seconds, 2.2199999 seconds... In other words, any value is possible when measuring "exact" time elapsed.

However, people are limited by the tools they use. There isn't a tool without limits in its ability to measure time elapsed. For example, is the stopwatch accurate to 1/100th of a second? 1/1000th of a second? At some point it reaches its limit. The constraints of the tool being used to measure are going to, in fact, cause data to be "discrete."

I'm 90% sure you're teacher is looking for "continuous" as the solution though. So don't bring up "discrete" unless you feel like you'll be able to confidently explain the second paragraph above.

Find the value of p (x) = 4x^3 - 7x^2 - 5x + 43 if x= -3
Alla [95]

Answer:

p(x) =  {4x}^{3}  -  {7x}^{2}  - 5x + 43 \\  \\ p( - 3) =  {4( - 3)}^{3}  -  {7( - 3)}^{2}  - 5( - 3) + 43 \\ p( - 3) =  - 113

Sever21 [200]
Here is what we know:
8 machine parts
each part = x pouunds
packaging for each part is 2 pounds so 16 pounds for packaging

If y=total weight wiith that information we can form this equation 
y=8x + 16

If each part equals 6 pounds the total shipment will be
y=8x+16
y=8(6) + 16
y= 48 + 16
y=64
