I want to make sure i got this right. PLS HELP ASAP I NEED IT<br><br> CALC 1 one question

$\bf f(x)=
\begin{cases}
x^3&x\le 1\\
mx+b&x\ \textgreater \ 1
\end{cases}$

now, a function may well be continuous, but it may not be differentiable.

graph wise, differentiability means, a smooth curve, with no abrupt spikes or drops or cuts.

so for this piece-wise to be differentiable, the subfunctions must meet at junctions smoothly, with no abrupt changes, so mx + b, must blend in with x³ smoothly.

now, that can only occur if mx + b has the same slope as x³ at that point where they meet. The point where they meet is at x = 1, well, let's check what is the slope of x³ at x = 1.

$\bf \cfrac{d}{dx}[x^3]\implies \left. 3x^2\cfrac{}{}\right|_{x=1}\implies 3(1)^2\implies 3$

therefore "m" for mx+b, must be 3 then.

now, what's the value of x³ at x = 1? well is just (1)³, which is 1.

so for 3x + b, when x = 1, it must also equals 1 as well, that way it meets x³, thus

3x + b

3(1) + b = 1

b = -2

check the graph below.

In a gambling game a person draws a single card from an ordinary 52-card playing deck. A person is paid $17 for drawing a jack o

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

$E.G=\$2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size 52 card

Pay for J or Q $=\$17$

Pay for King or Ace $=\$5$

Pay for others $=-\$2$

Therefore

Probability of drawing J or Q

$P(J&Q)=\frac{8}{52}$

Probability or drawing King or Ace

$P(K or A)=\frac{8}{52}$

Probability or drawing Other cards

$P(O)=\frac{36}{52}$

Therefore

Expected Gain is mathematically given as

$E.G=\sum_xP(x)$

$E.G=17*\frac{8}{52}+5*\frac{8}{52}+(-2)*\frac{36}{52}$

$E.G=\$2$
