What is an appropriate measure to record your weight?

Mathematics

Reil [10]3 years ago

That depends on where you live.  The purpose of writing down your
weight is often to tell other people what your weight is, so you want to
record it in units that the other people around you understand.

If you live in rural Scotland or Ireland, then you'd want to record it
in terms of stones and pounds.

If you live in Liberia, Myanmar, or the USA, then you'd probably
weigh yourself and record the results in pounds.

Anywhere in the rest of the world, it would be recorded in terms of kilograms.

You must be especially careful in the USA.  Here, you must not allow
any metric units to appear anywhere in your records, for if the eye of
an American should chance to fall on any written mention of a liter,
a meter, or a kilogram, the effect on his American physiognomy is
toxic.  His blood evaporates, his eyes turn backwards in their sockets,
and his abdomen falls out onto the floor.  Worst of all is the effect on
his brain.  It is well established now that having been born in the USA,
or after living there for some period of time, a person is incapable of
comprehending the metric system of units, so the rest of us must
protect them from it.

Damm [24]
The definition just says that the graph is not all the same function.
It's pieces of two different functions ... the function changes at the
line  x = -1 .  The graph looks something like the attached picture.

The function on the left side is     y = x .
That's the graph starting from 10 miles left of the graph, and
all the way up to  x = -1 .  Surely you know how to draw   y = x .

At  x = -1, it changes to the other function.

The function on the right side is    y = -x .
That's the graph starting from  x = -1  and all the way out to
10 miles away on the right, or farther. 
Surely you know how to draw   y = -x .

That's all there is to it.  Different functions on different parts of the plane.
And as you can see on the attached picture, there's no guarantee that
they have to meet at the same point.  Sometimes they do and sometimes
they don't.  It just depends on how they're defined. 

Like, if the right-side function had been    y = -x - 2 , then the two pieces
would meet, and the whole graph would look like a big upside-down
letter ' V ', with its vertex at the point  (-1, -1) .

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

2 quarters and 15 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

2 quarters is equal to 50 cents, and because each dime is worth 10 cents,  you need 10 cents x 15 dimes = 150 more cents to get to $2.

Hope this was helpful!

Have yourself an amazing day!
