Answer:

A. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) = x + 3 for x ≤ -1 and 2x - c for x > -1, for the function to be continuous, the right hand limit of the function must be equal to its left hand limit.

For the left hand limit;

The function at the left hand occurs at x<-1

f-(x) = x+3

f-(-1) = -1+3

f-(-1) = 2

For the right hand limit, the function occurs at x>-1

f+(x) = 2x-c

f+(-1) = 2(-1)-c

f+(-1) = -2-c

For the function f(x) to be continuous on the entire real line at x = -1, then

f-(-1) = f+(-1)

On equating both sides:

2 = -2-c

Add 2 to both sides

2+2 = -2-c+2

4 =-c

Multiply both sides by minus.

-(-c) = -4

c = -4

Hence the value of c so that f(x) is continuous on the entire real line is -4

Given: LP=NP ML=MN Prove: LQ=QN

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The Proof is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\overline {LP} \cong \overline{NP}$

$\overline {ML} \cong \overline{MN}$

To Prove:

$\overline {LQ} \cong \overline{QN}$

Proof:

In ΔLPM and ΔNPM

$\overline {LP} \cong \overline{NP}$ ……….{Given}

$\overline {ML} \cong \overline{MN}$ ……….{Given}

$\overline {LP} \cong \overline{NP}$ ……….{Reflexive Property}

ΔLPM ≅ ΔNPM ….{ By Side-Side-Side congruence test}

∴ ∠LMP ≅ ∠NMP ...{Corresponding parts of congruent triangles (c.p.c.t).}.....( 1 )

Now In ΔLMQ and ΔNMQ

$\overline {ML} \cong \overline{MN}$ ……….{Given}

∠LMQ ≅ ∠NMQ ..........{From 1 above}

$\overline {MQ} \cong \overline{MQ}$ ……….{Reflexive Property}

ΔLMQ ≅ ΔNMQ ....{ By Side-Angle-Side Congruence test}

∴ $\overline {LQ} \cong \overline{QN}$ ...{Corresponding parts of congruent triangles (c.p.c.t).}.....Proved

You are hiking in the woods at a rate of 3 mph. The function y=3x describes how many miles y you walk in x hours. create an inpu

Finger [1]

Answer:

x ---- y

1 ---- 3

4 ---- 12

6 ---- 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y = 3x$

Required

Create a table that represents this scenario

Because x represents time, x can not be negative. So, the domain of x is:

$x \geq 0$

Assume $x = 1$

$y = 3 * 1 = 3$

Assume x = 4

$y=3*4 = 12$

Assume x = 6

$y=3*6 = 18$

Hence, the table is:

x ---- y

1 ---- 3

4 ---- 12

6 ---- 18
