Answer:
814.5 mg remain after 4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The multiplier of the original quantity is 1 -5% = 0.95 for each passing hour. The amount remaining after x hours is ...
y = 1000·0.95^x
For x=4, the amount remaining is ...
y = 1000·0.95^4 = 1000·0.81450625
y ≈ 814.5 . . . mg remain after 4 hours
A jump discontinuity occurs when the limits as x approaches a number from the left and right are not equal. Basically, the graph "jumps" from one number to another at that x value.
A point discontinuity occurs when limits as x approaches a number from the left and right are equal, but the actual value of f(x) at x is not equal to the limit. Basically, a point is missing and there is a "hole" in the graph at that x value.
Looking at your graph, you can see that at x=0, the graph "jumps" from a value of 2 as the graph approaches x=0 from the left to a value of 1 as the graph approaches x=0 from the right. That means there is a jump discontinuity at x=0.
You can also see that there is a "hole" in the graph at x=-2 and x=8 as seen by the open circle. There is no hole at x=3 because the circle is filled in. That means there is a point discontinuity at x=-2 and x=8.
Your answer is B) jump discontinuity at x=0; point discontinuities at x=-2 and x=8.
